Martina restaurant

Showing some pictures of the food I ordered with my friend in Martina restaurant, Pasila last Saturday.





Feta chicken pasta, chicken is good but the tagliatelle pasta seems to be added too much cream, the same goes with my shrimp chowder.

The surroundings & salad. The salad is very nice: potatoes, green bean, sour cream, canned peach, etc.

Shrimp chowder

I also ordered Garlic escagot, but my picture is so upset, I don't want to show!

I like the decoration in the restaurant. Something about the design that is simple but elegant: those pictures hanging in the wall, color and lightings,...they seem to be well-fitted each other!

When I wrote these lines, I really want to go to Stockholm over and over again! These are the picture taken on board when I went to Stockholm from Helsinki.







Sunset on Viking Line, Baltic Sea

Watching sunset, really beautiful! I still remember that feeling, the colour of water, sunset, the smell of sea, of that atmosphere. Relaxed and cheerful!

Show you the site I discovered yesterday. Site owner, Steve Mc Curry- an American photojournalist with his famous photograph “Afgan girl” appeared in cover of Natgeo 1985.

Yesterday I discovered his site. To my first impression: lively, down to earth and breaktaking are what I felt about McCurry pictures, and of course much more!

Not so many pictures that can leave me such an intrigued feeling like that. The pictures tell the story.

Every one of us needs a home. The world needs a home.

There are so many young people who are homeless.

They have building to live in, but they are homeless in their hearts.

that is why the most important practice

of our time is to give each person a home.
