A typical Finnish Lifestyle

Today, I went to meet my supervisor at the ICT building. It took about more than 20 mins from my hotel to ICT building. I just tested how far it is from my place to there by walking and realized it was pretty far. Also, it was raining a lot in this morning and my walk to there was not that smooth. The places, buildings, and streets/roads are not much changed during my absence within a year plus. I am still close to them.

I had a nice discussion with my professor about my future plan for the study and overall it was pretty positive. I am glad that Prof is really supportive. I could not manage to go to local authority office to register my stay in Turku because I forgot my passport at the hotel.

As usual, Turku is very typical Finnish small town. Everything is in the slow pace. The weather is a bit dull and cloudy. So I did not have a fresh and motivating mood. It's pretty cold out there though temperature is about 14C. Though it's a quiet, lovely, and small town, I feel a bit boring and lonely as usual. I miss my days in Brisbane and I miss my enjoyment in Bangkok. Anyway, I have to work very hard for next 2 months so that I can go back home in early November. I recall my memories of my first stay in Turku in 2014 summer. It was full of good and bad memories. I feel a bit drama. :)

Longest journey I have ever had

Well, I had a super long journey yesterday flying all the way from Brisbane - Queensland (Australia) to very far Northern European country, Helsinki (Finland). Previously, I planned to transit at Bangkok and sleep there for two days to re-energize myself before another long trip. However, for the sake of time and comfort, I chose direct flight from Brisbane to Helsinki. The total amount for two options (either BKK or Singapore transit) is not much different. So, I spent a few hundred bucks. :(                                       (Before I departed at Brisbane airport) The trip started at 2:30 pm (Brisbane time) and took almost 8 hours to arrive at Changi airport, Singapore. It was long and boring journey but I managed to watch one movie and listened to some musics to spend the time. The food served by SG airlines was quite good and I could choose Asian food (thai curry and fried ...

from Tarragindi to Holland Park West (again)

I have lived in the house at Wellers Road, Tarragindi for past six months without realizing it would take that long. I have gone through many painful memories in this house. Now I moved to the place at Holland West Park where I used to live in my early Australia days. I do want to leave all my bad memories behind and I want to open my new chapter from now. Hopefully, everything gonna be alright. Here is the place at Holland Park. The following one is at Tarragindi.
