- Brick oven
Custom-made pizza in only a few minutes, when the fire is already hot. Friday afternoon at 3:30, bakery wasn't busy, so a good destination for a casual business meeting. Strudel and cookies for dessert, could have brought fresh bread home. Chose location so that friend could beat traffic from city centre to the east end, he dropped me off for the westbound subway.

Chinese cuisine executed well, but recipe lacking in green vegetables may be preferred by Nordic clientele. Venue convenient to the apartment where I'm staying, but local foods and cooking by my own hands are superior.

(Kiinalainen Ravintola Jing Cheng, Töölö, Helsinki, Finland) 20160211 - Why join the navy when you can be a pirate
Enthusiastic students, after Friday course completion, picked a bar with name quoted from Steve Jobs. Actually, it's a cafe that serves alcoholic drinks, mixed juices and smoothies. At 5 p.m., some of the clientele still had laptop computers open, and were tapping away as the sound levels rose. (Why join the navy when you can be a pirate, Annankatu, Helsinki, Finland) 20160219 - 228 Peace Memorial Park
Monument to remember the February 28 incident in 1947, where thousands of civilians were killed in the suppression of an anti-government uprising.

Entering the Republic of Užupis on International Liars Day, border agents stamped our passports as we crossed the Vilnia River into the bohemian art district The theme for the 25th anniversary of the self-proclaimed republic is a protecting and nurturing angel, whose trumpet proclaims fellowship and faith in openness.

Vilnius, Lithuania) 20230401 - Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport

Robert Berks (1979) Albert Einstein Memorial commemorates a prior member of the National Academy of Sciences. Popular landmark now made more visible on social media with encouragement of hashtag.

(Albert Einstein Memorial, National Academy of Sciences, Constitution Avenue, Washington, DC) 20160321 - Església del Sagrat Cor + Convent de les Mínimes
Arrived too late for doors to be open for the 6:30pm service, at the Church of the Sacred Heart, inaugurated in 1894. Alongside the Convent of the Minimes, the female branch of the congregation founded by San Francisco de Paula in the 1500s was chartered by Sister Filomena Ferrer Galzeran in her home town of Mora d'Ebre. While the tomb of Sister Filomena was destroyed in 1936, her cause for beatification was introduced on 1891, leading to Pope Leo XIII declaring her venerable in 1897, and Pope John Paul II approving her decree as a saint in 1989. (Església del Sagrat Cor + Convent de les Mínimes, Plaça de la Venerable Sor Filomena Ferrer, Móra d'Ebre, Tarragona, Spain) 20221007 - Noodle shop near Future City, Wuchang
Simple lunch of wheat noodles, chilis and mock duck at local kitchen specializing in only that. Recommended by SN as a place she frequents, weekday midday not as busy as later, when there are lineups. I had a slight coughing fit as the chilis hit the back of my throat. (Noodle shop, Future City, Wuchang, Wuhan, China) 20150316 - Austrian Airlines HON Circle Lounge Schengen, Vienna
On loan from @Leopold_Museum to @_austrian , #EgonSchiele (1912) Portrait of Wally Neuzil, his lover and muse (1911-1915). The short biography on the wall doesn't say that Egon decided to "marry advantageously, not Wally", so she left him and eventually became a nurse. Leisurely connection time in Vienna, the corridors are a maze. (Austrian Airlines HON Circle Lounge Schengen, Vienna, Austria) 20230328 - MaoKong Tea Master
Tasted a variety of teas from leaves grown at this level and higher. Local preference is for intense flavour, some smokier or fruity or floral.
