While I am flying sometimes more and sometimes less, I sometimes wonder how many airplanes there are in the air at the same time. I found this nice presentation of this, the video shows 24 hours and all the flights flying. Watch it, pretty impressive!

Back in Finland
Well, late in the Friday evening (midnight) I arrived back to Tampere. The return trip was going quite smoothly until Stockholm where we arrived late due to the strong headwind. And because Saturday was Finnish Independency Day, the last flights from Stockholm to Tampere were cancelled during the Friday and our only possibility was to fly to Copenhagen to catch the last flight to Tampere. Naturally the shortest way to Tampere isn’t always the shortest in real life. 
In Copenhagen we found out that our plane was faulty and they were going to change it to another one. It added one additional hour to our waiting time. And even with that extra time they didn’t manage to load my luggage to the airplane so it was delayed and arrived to home only during Saturday evening.
Week in Chengdu was interesting, the weather was rather cold and almost feeling like a Winter. But it was really nice to be back in China again, enjoy Chinese food again and culture. The week was really busy full of work so there wasn’t enough time to see much but what I saw was very nice.
