Time for another holiday

It's been too many months since our last holiday! This one was long time in planning as it involved my parents flying over from Finland. We planned a three-week roundtrip in Singapore and Malaysia to show them around, starting from Singapore as there is a great direct flight to there from Helsinki. As I've posted about Singapore before, I won't go into too many details but I must say that the whole city is a breath of fresh air straight from landing. And actually we were lucky to have a bit of cooler weather, which made exploring a bit more bearable (as we are not early risers!).

Happy International Women's Day

Being a woman means such different things around the globe. I was just reading some women's magazine where a known personality lamented how feminism has gone so far that "women even look like men". Or conversely, we can discuss the "women's pound", and agree that, after all, men and women aren't equal at least not in the work place. Even though Finland ranks as 2nd of all countries in the world closest to closing its gender gap, there is still a lot of work to do. (UK doesn't make the top 10.)
