Plane, which is taking me back to Europe is waiting at the gate.

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.

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.

And at the same time while enjoying your lunch or dinner, you can try local specialty, beer made from seaweed.

Local grocery shop

Miikka — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 05:18:13 +0000

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

Miikka — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 05:13:06 +0000

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.

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 … Continue reading →
