Hello everyone (Hei kaikille as they say in Finland), I caught the first flight of this trip ok, and I am now in Helsinki, waiting for my connection to Beijing! The vegetarian meal on the plane was surprisingly good, and that it is great newsas I am flying with Finnair tonight too and the veggie meals are normally appalling!
Well, I just wanted to quickly say thank you for the greetings and for reading this. I know you would all like to be here with me (i.e. maybe not with me, but on this trip nevertheless) and I'll think of you all in the next three months. 4 hours to wait for my next flight! I'll hope to write again once I get to Beijing and hopefully I'll put some pictures up too!
Bye for now
