Going to Chicago
I am currently on my way to Chicago, still at the gate but closer and closer to boarding time. This time I am taking direct flight from Helsinki to Chicago with American Airlines so let’s see how good it is.
Weather is another thing which is going to be interesting, according to the forecasts, it is going to be very hot in Chicago. At least for me. Let’s see if I am going to melt there.
Another view on Airbus 380
I was pretty excited about flying with Airbus 380 for the first time in my life. So, when I was coming back to Europe, I was also trying to get new photos about this airplane.
Seafood in Jiaonan
While continuing on catching up what else happened on our latest trip to China, I also found my photos about one hotpot dinner with lots of seafood.
Beer museum
When you are visiting Qingdao area, you basically need to visit Tsingtao beer museum. Great history and very nice tour showing you how beer is made. You get to taste it also. 
After the tour, you are already in the most famous restaurant street in Qingdao so you don’t have to think twice where to eat. And at the same time while enjoying your lunch or dinner, you can try local specialty, beer made from seaweed.
Weddings and noise
When there is a wedding in China, there is always firecrackers and everything. And that means quite a noise too. And when you have two places next to you and both have two or three wedding groups at the same time – it is a BIG noise.
English translation
Can you guess what this box contains? And do not cheat by reading the Chinese version.
Local grocery shop
Yesterday I also was able to see and experience some very local grocery shopping. Conveniently you have several shops just around the corner and next to each other – so if one’s price level, quality or selection isn’t satisfactory, then just walk to next one.
A bit of pollution
Yesterday the weather was a bit hazy, according to Fangfang it is mainly caused by the certain direction of winds and the pollution levels in the area. Progress doesn’t come without a price, I guess.
At the park in the evening
We went to see what happens at the park when it gets a bit darker and temperature isn’t that high any longer.
In one corner there is dancing, in another corner badminton and taiji. Definitely not a park like in Finland.
