It had been an awesome week on a road trip in Norway, but it was time to finish it just in time to see the start of the epic Gumball3000 car race from Stockholm to Las Vegas. We were enjoying the nice weather and nice cars in downtown Stockholm and in the evening it was time to take the cruise ship back to Finland.
Here are some photos from Stockholm! The Norway road trip post will be out soon! Stay tuned!
Two weeks in Thailand
When there is still snow on the ground in Finland, I'm not complaining when I get a work assignment to fly out to Thailand for two weeks!
On our first week in Thailand we shot a music video in the outskirts of Bangkok. It was a weird experience staying in a new city and not exploring or spending any time in the city centre. I guess I have to come back one day. At least we got to see some things that normal tourists usually wont.
We flew from Bangkok to Phuket, where we spent the rest of the trip. Luckily our hotel resort was located pretty far from the touristy areas. It was amazing to wake up to 29°C and wait for the weather to climb up to 36°C during the day. Nice refreshing dip in the ocean is the best thing ever!
Our trip included a visit to an orphanage in the tsunami destruction area in Khao Lak. We also took a boat to Ko Racha Yai, where we went snorkeling and scuba diving. During our few "off days" we actually rented mopeds to explore the island and see the local lifestyle and the countryside of Phuket. It is not the safest way to get around, but it's definitely the fastest and very cheap.

Google maps spotting
I had seen this weird looking place on Google Maps a long time ago. Now I had my camera with me and I decided to go and check this place out. Me and our friend Jolle took a tram and made it to Kallio, where this courtyard is located. We got in and it actually ended up looking better than on the satellite images I had seen.
Another cool little place that I didn't know existed in Helsinki. "Kallion tuubi" was found.
