Hellou! VielĂ€ toinen postaus Dubaista! TĂ€mĂ€n postauksen kuvat on Dubai Marinasta, jossa oltiin toisena iltana. Oltiin oltu eka rannalla ja tultiin sieltĂ€ Dubai Marina Mall-ostarille, jonka jĂ€lkeen pyörittiin tuolla veden ÀÀrellĂ€ ihaillen maisemia. Nuo kaikki valot tekee kyllĂ€ nĂ€kymistĂ€ niin kauniit! Yks asia mitĂ€ ihmeteltiin, oli ne jĂ€rkyttĂ€vĂ€t jouluvalot (?), joita oli monilla parvekkeilla. Sellasia kaikissa sateenkaaren vĂ€reissĂ€ vĂ€lkkyviĂ€ discovalojen nĂ€köisiĂ€ viritelmiĂ€. Miksi ihmiset laittaa niitĂ€ parvekkeilleen? Onko ne jouluvaloja vai ihan ympĂ€rivuotisessa kĂ€ytössĂ€? Löydettiin tuolla Marinassa ihana baari semmosella kattoterassilla. SiellĂ€ poltettiin shishaa, syötiin superhyvĂ€t burgerit ja juotiin muutamat drinkit. Kun liikuttiin muualla, pidin kyllĂ€ olkapÀÀtkin peitettynĂ€, mutta tuolla Marinassa oli niin paljon ihmisiĂ€ ihan normaaleissa kesĂ€vaatteissa, joten mekin sitten oltiin noin. Muualla sitten pidin huivia hartioilla, koska onhan se kohteliasta ja kunnioittavaa noudattaa yleisiĂ€ sÀÀntöjĂ€. Harmittavan paljon nĂ€kyi turisteja, jotka kulki siellĂ€ niissĂ€ shortseissa, jotka peittÀÀ vĂ€hemmĂ€n ku pikkuhousut… Musta on ihan kivaa vaihtelua pitÀÀ vĂ€hĂ€n erilaisia kesĂ€vaatteita ja esim. maksimekkoja, joita ei tuu Suomessa kesĂ€llĂ€ niin paljon pidettyĂ€.

Nyt pitÀÀ alkaa vĂ€hĂ€n opiskeleen, nimittĂ€in huomenna en lennĂ€kÀÀn mihinkÀÀn vaan meen pariksi pĂ€ivĂ€ksi taas koulun penkille ja testattavaksi. PitĂ€kÀÀ peukkuja, ettĂ€ pÀÀsen kokeet lĂ€pi 😀

Hey! Another post from Dubai! The pictures of this post are from Dubai Marina, where we went to on the second night. First we went to the beach, then to Dubai Marina Mall and after that we walked around in that beautiful place. All those lights make everything so pretty! One thing that surprised us was the horrible Christmas (?) lights on the balconies. Those lights flashing in all colors. Why do people put those on their windows and balconies?! Are they Christmas lights or are they there around the year? We found this lovely bar there in Marina. We smoked shisha, ate super delicious burgers and had a couple of drinks. When we were in some other areas of Dubai, I always wore something over my shoulders, but there in Marina there were so many people in just normal summer clothes, so we were like that too. In all the other places I always wore something more covering, because I think it is respectful to follow the local rules. Unfortunately there were so many tourists wearing those shorts those barely cover the ass… Embarrassing. I think it’s nice to wear maxi dresses etc. for a change, it’s not so often when I wear those in Finland in the summer.

Now I need to study for a moment. Tomorrow I’m not flying, but going back to school for a couple of days. They also test us, so wish me good luck for the exams 😀

Hellou! Vihdoin vĂ€hĂ€n juttua Dubaista! PÀÀsin vĂ€hĂ€n pidemmĂ€lle layoverille Dubaihin ja Satu lĂ€hti mun mukaan. Oltiin perillĂ€ kaks ja puoli pĂ€ivÀÀ ja siinĂ€kin ajassa ehtii ihan hyvin tehĂ€ kaikenlaista. TĂ€mĂ€n postauksen kuvat on meidĂ€n rantavisiiteiltĂ€. YhtenĂ€ pĂ€ivĂ€nĂ€ kĂ€ytiin Dubai Marinassa jollain yleisellĂ€ rannalla, joka oli ihan kiva, mutta liian vĂ€hĂ€n tĂ€ynnĂ€… MeressĂ€ oli niin paljon ihmisiĂ€ kerralla uimassa, ettĂ€ vesikin oli ihan sameaa. Tuommonen tyyppi vei turisteja kameliratsastuskierroksille ja se ravas jatkuvasti kameleineen siitĂ€ ihan meidĂ€n aurinkotuolin vierestĂ€ 😀 Toisena pĂ€ivĂ€nĂ€ pÀÀdyttiin puolivahingossa Palm Jumeirahissa yksityiselle rannalle, mikĂ€ oli todella ihana paikka. IhmisiĂ€ oli aika vĂ€hĂ€n ja rannan vesi oli ihanan kirkasta. Tuolle rannalle oli lapsilta pÀÀsy kielletty, joten ei ihmekÀÀn, ettĂ€ oli rauhallista. BiitsillĂ€ soitettiin huippuhyvÀÀ housea, ihan kuin suoraan mun Spotify-listalta! Rannan yhteydessĂ€ oli myös klubi, jonne oltais mielellĂ€mme myös menty, mutta aamun kello 2:45 herĂ€tys vĂ€hĂ€n rajoitti iltamenoja. PÀÀasia, ettĂ€ saatiin nautittua auringosta! LĂ€mpötilakin oli just sopiva, vĂ€hĂ€n yli 30-astetta eli ei ollut liian kuuma. Teen vielĂ€ toisen postauksen Dubaista, tĂ€ssĂ€ nyt kaikki tĂ€ltĂ€ erÀÀ. Kivaa torstaita! 🙂

Hello! Finally a post about Dubai! I got this a little longer layover in Dubai and Satu came with me. We were there in Dubai for two and a half days and we managed to do quite many things in this time too. The pictures on this post are from our beach visits. One day we went to this public beach in Dubai Marina. It was a nice beach, but a bit too crowded… There were so many people in the sea at the same time that the water was all muddy. This guy took tourists for camel rides and he was going back and forth with his camels right by our sunbed all the time 😀 On the other day we ended up half-accidentally to this private beach in Palm Jumeirah and that was a really nice beach. Not so many people and the water was very clear. Children were not allowed to come to that beach, so no wonder it was quite calm there. They played super good house music there at the beach, like straight from my Spotify-list! There was also a nightclub by that beach and it would have been nice to go there too, but the 2:45am wake-up the next morning didn’t allow us to do much that night. The most important thing was that we got to enjoy the sun anyway! Even the temperature was just fine, a little above 30 degrees, so not too hot. I will make another post about Dubai, so here is all for now. Have a nice Thursday! 🙂

Heippa! TÀÀllĂ€ erÀÀssĂ€ nimeltĂ€ mainitsemattomassa kiinalaisessa kaupungissa taas kirjottelen. Postauksen kuvat ei liity tĂ€hĂ€n mitenkÀÀn, ne otettiin tuossa joku aika sitten HelsingissĂ€ yhtenĂ€ kauniina ja jÀÀtĂ€vĂ€n kylmĂ€nĂ€ pĂ€ivĂ€nĂ€. Palelee, kun katonkin noita kuvia! Nukuin ihanan pitkÀÀn heti kun tultiin hotellille tĂ€nĂ€ aamuna ja nyt sitten ajattelin treenata ja sitten ottaa vaan rennosti tÀÀllĂ€ hotellilla. Ihanan pitkĂ€t unet siis tarkoitti tĂ€llĂ€ kertaa noin 7 tuntia, mikĂ€ on tuohon saumaan, työyön jĂ€lkeen, ihan hyvin. Me lĂ€htÀÀn tÀÀltĂ€ takaisin sitten aamulla eli aamuyöllĂ€ Suomen aikaan, joten ennen lĂ€htöÀ nukun (toivottavasti) vielĂ€ jonkun verran. Kerronko vielĂ€ lisÀÀ mun unirytmistĂ€? 😀 Sen vielĂ€ sanon, ettĂ€ lentoemĂ€nnĂ€n työn aloitettuani on kyllĂ€ nukkuminenkin muuttunut. SiinĂ€ missĂ€ ennen sentÀÀn kohtalaisen hyvin pÀÀsi vapaapĂ€ivinĂ€kin aamuisin ylös sĂ€ngystĂ€, niin nykyÀÀn ei sitten millÀÀn pÀÀse aikaisin ylös jos ei oo ihan pakko. Aina vaan vois nukkua pidempÀÀn…

TÀltÀ reissulta kun kotiudun niin mulle tulee kaveri vierailulle muutamaksi pÀivÀksi. MennÀÀn ehkÀ pÀivÀreissulle Tallinnaan! Oon kÀyny aikaisemmin vaan kerran Tallinnassa ja siitÀkin on sata vuotta aikaa. Löytyykö hyviÀ vinkkejÀ sinne?

Hello! Here I am in this one city in China I’m not going to mention. The pictures on this post have nothing to do with China, they were taken some time ago on this beautiful and freezing cold day in Helsinki. I’m freezing when I even see these pics! As we got to the hotel this morning I slept long and now I’m going to do some exercise and then just take it easy here at the hotel. Long sleep actually means around 7 hours, which is quite good after a night of work. We will leave here tomorrow morning which is around 2am Finnish time, so I hope I will sleep again some time before we leave. Should I tell you more about my sleep? 😀 One thing I have to say, that after starting my work as a flight attendant my sleeping has changed as well. Before it was easy to wake up (relatively) early on days off too, but nowadays that seems impossible. I could always just sleep more…

When I get home from this trip my friend will come for a visit for a couple of days. We might go on a day trip to Tallinn. I have been there only once before and that was a hundred years ago. Any good tips to Tallinn?

Dear Shanghai – Hellou! TĂ€ssĂ€ muutama kuva viimeiseltĂ€ Shanghain reissulta. I know, aina mÀÀ puhun vaan Shanghaista. Arvatkaa mihin lĂ€hen huomenna? Jep, aivan oikein… Pian meillĂ€ kuitenkin vaihtuu hotelli Shanghaissa, joten sitten tulee ainakin vĂ€hĂ€n erilaisia maisemaotoksia ikkunasta, heheh. Ostin tuollasen lentokonerannekorun viime reissulla eli nyt oon sitten ihan tĂ€ydellinen lentoemĂ€ntĂ€, eikö? RĂ€psin myös hulluna kuvia siltĂ€ meidĂ€n sight seeing-kierrokselta Helsingin yllĂ€. Ei niistĂ€ hirveesti nĂ€e, mutta tuossa nyt on Vallisaari ja Suomenlinna. Kohta lĂ€htÀÀn leffaan! EipĂ€ oo tullu kĂ€ytyĂ€ leffassa piiiitkÀÀn aikaan, Madridissa varmaan viimeksi. SiellĂ€ leffalippu maksoi ehkĂ€ 5 euroa. TÀÀllĂ€ 15 euroa. SiinĂ€ ehkĂ€ kiteytettynĂ€, miksi ei tuu juuri kĂ€ytyĂ€ 😀 Kivaa viikonloppua!

Dear Shanghai – Hey! Here’s a few pictures from my last Shanghai trip. I know, I’m always just talking about Shanghai. Guess where I’m going tomorrow? Yes, exactly… We will soon change in to a different hotel in Shanghai, so at least there will be a different view from the window, heheh. I bought this airplane bracelet last time so now I’m a perfect stewardess, right? I took a lot of photos from the sight seeing round over Helsinki. Can’t see so much from the photos, but here are Suomenlinna and Vallisaari. Soon we will go to movies! I haven’t been to movies for so long time, last time was in Madrid, I think. There the ticket cost something like 5 euros. Here it is 15 euros. Maybe that’s why I never go to movies here 😀 Have a great weekend!

Beijing – VĂ€hĂ€n aikaa sitten pyörĂ€hdin PekingissĂ€! VĂ€hĂ€n vaihtelua siihen Shanghaihin (jonne muuten lennĂ€n taas huomenna…). PekingissĂ€ meidĂ€n hotellin lĂ€hellĂ€kin on kauppoja ja jotain nĂ€htĂ€vÀÀ, mikĂ€ on tosi kiva, ettei tarvi lĂ€htĂ€ vĂ€syneenĂ€ mihinkÀÀn kauas. KĂ€ytiin parin kollegan kanssa vĂ€hĂ€n shoppailemassa, syömĂ€ssĂ€ ja aistimassa markkinatunnelmaa. Ruoka oli tosi hyvÀÀ, mutta kesken aterian nĂ€htiin jotain ei-niin-ruokahalua-herĂ€ttĂ€vÀÀ. Tarjoilija oli just viemĂ€ssĂ€ annosta johonkin pöytÀÀn, kun asiakas toisesta pöydĂ€stĂ€ sattui juuri aivastamaan suoraan siihen ohimenevĂ€lle lautaselle. MitĂ€ teki tarjoilija? Vei ruuan muitta mutkitta pahaa aavistamattoman asiakkaan eteen. Tuli siinĂ€ vaan miettineeksi, ettĂ€ mitĂ€hĂ€n on mahtanut tapahtua meidĂ€n ruuille, ennen kuin ne tuli meidĂ€n pöytÀÀn…

KĂ€ytiin myös pikainen mutka markkinoilla, missĂ€ myydÀÀn lĂ€hinnĂ€ ruokaa ja krÀÀsÀÀ. Ruuaksi lasketaan siis myös nuo kaikenmaailman torakat sun muut, jotka odotteli loppuaan sĂ€tkytellen noihin tikkuihin seivĂ€stettynĂ€. Me otettiin kuvia torakoista, ja jotku paikalliset miehet otti kuvia meistĂ€. EhkĂ€ siinĂ€ on joku yhteys… Mun turmioksi koitui Miniso, sellanen ihana tilpehöörikauppa. Turmioksi lĂ€hinnĂ€ siksi, ettĂ€ olin pienellĂ€ laukulla liikkeellĂ€, joten aika tarkkaan sai pakata, ettĂ€ nuo mun ostokset mahtui mukaan. Hotellille palatessa odotteli yllĂ€tys, nimittĂ€in naapurihuoneen vieraat poltteli tupakkaa ja savu kantautui mun huoneeseen. Hotellin henkilökunta toi mun huoneeseen jonku ilmanpuhdistimen, mutta eipĂ€ se mitÀÀn auttanut, kun savua tuli kokoajan lisÀÀ, kun tyypit jatko polttelua. SiitĂ€ vaan sitten aamulla töihin virkapuku tupakalta haisten. Fresh. Mutta noin muuten Pekingin keikka oli oikein kiva 🙂

Huomenna lennÀnkin taas Shanghaihin. Mukavaa tiistaita!

Beijing – Some time ago I flew to Beijing! Something else than Shanghai (where I fly again tomorrow by the way…). In Beijing there are shops and things to see also near our hotel, which is very nice. No need to go anywhere far to do something. We went to do some shopping, eat dinner and visit the market with two of my colleagues. The food in the restaurant was good, but while we were eating we saw something nasty. A waitress was just taking someone’s food to the table, when another customer just happened to sneeze right onto that other customer’s food that the waitress was delivering. And what did the waitress do? She just took the food to that poor customer, who apparently didn’t see what happened. Just made us wonder what had happened to our food before it reached us…

We also visited the market place quickly. There they mostly sell food and all kinds of cheap stuff. Food, like those cockroaches and other creatures that floundered in the sticks waiting to be grilled. We took pictures of the cockroaches while some local men took pictures of us. There must be some connection… We went to this lovely shop called Miniso, that sells everything. And it’s very cheap. I bought quite a lot of stuff and had a really hard time fitting them all into my small suitcase. A nice surprise was waiting for me when we got back to the hotel. My room was full of tobacco smoke since my neighbors were smoking in their room. The hotel staff brought an air cleaner to my room, but it didn’t help much since the people continued smoking. So the next morning I just got back to work with my smoke smelling uniform. Fresh. But otherwice this Beijing trip was a very nice one 🙂

So tomorrow I’ll fly to Shanghai again. Have a good Tuesday!
