Guess Who Am I

Weather has warmed up again and some of the snow has melted. They are are forecasting more snow tomorrow but let’s see if it will come.

In this picture you can see the traditional Christmas decorations at the local airport. And some fog.

Beijing is still more or less the same as in May when I was here last time. One difference is the upcoming National Day, which has changed city a bit. In Chang’an Avenue there is a police patrol, a SWAT patrol, an army patrol or combination of those all in every corner. Our hotel has also increased their security level by having both metal detector and X-Ray machines for incoming visitors. This is nothing new, similar was already happening during the Olympics and lately I have got used to that in my recent trip in Jakarta.

Weather is hot, for me at least. Others don’t exactly share my opinion but shouldn’t it be that during your Summer vacation it is hot? So this certainly feels like good Summer vacation weather.

Well, we arrived to Beijing. All the luggage with us, no delays and no technical problems. Pretty boring and for most of the people preferred way of flying. Yeah, it was like that for Fangfang but not for me. I learned a new skills – do you know how to get your breakfast before everyone else and how to get some attention from half of the crew? Well … you faint. Apparently it isn’t that good idea to have very light breakfast, lunch and then only airline dinner. I guess I should start listening Fangfang who always reminds me about eating regurarly and enough. But, I got my breakfast before anyone else.

And Air China sent a plane with Olympic colors. The picture isn’t the best one as it is difficult to see the plane from the side.

Here we are travelling to China once again.

When we approached Helsinki-Vantaa airport, the sight was quite amazing. Everywhere you looked, there was fog on the ground. I tried to take a quick photo but we were already approaching and I had to take it quickly with my iPhone.

I am going to fly to Jakarta, Indonesia today so my weekend will be spent mostly in flying. I am going to fly through Hong Kong so let’s see how Typhoon Morakot is going to affect my flights, maybe some delays.

This time the flight is quite short.

I think I am repeating myself and Fangfang thinks so too. But once again I am at the airport and waiting for the flight. This time destination will be Beijing.

We are almost ready to go. See you in Germany.
