A fresh new star of the Finnish Design MIE.FI
I was visiting snow white Rovaniemi, the second largest tourist
attraction in Finland (right after our capital Helsinki). Lapland was
embraced by bright sun rays of and the complete whiteness of the
neverending forests was something sacral like. I could tell endless
stories about the smart, well trained and original Lappi-people but to
begin with, I introduce you to my new favorite brand. MIE or Mieland.
Check out the website www.mie.fi/english
Wonderful
and a finally a brand that turns the periphery and the stories of the
deserting rural Lapland villages to a fashion and design hot spot!

Ottolenghi - wonderful lunch spot in London, Notting Hill! Could they fix Finnair and British Airways?
Tired of Lost in Translation experience? Travelling too much for work and feeling poisoned A. from not getting anything to eat when flying budget OR B. not flying budget but the airline food of my most common NON-budget airline brands BA, Finnair, SAS and Air France is just a dreadful experience. Unbelievable, that even on these days when the domestic cuisine of countries that are not known for having wonderful food, like England and my home country, Finland, is getting so much better thanks to raising standards of living, competition from foreign food imports, celebrity chefs, demanding cook clubs and food obsessed media, the serving standard on airline is getting so much POORER!
I have had a pleasure to fly quite a bit in Business class but the food even there in seldom more than old bread and something prepared days ago! Most time, however, I fly tourist class and starve, or pack my own thing. Why the airlines, now when they fly with empty seats due to credit crunch, do not get it. People travel around the world after food, the airlines simply can not start serving it on the air????
I plead to my fellow travellers, write about it, fight about and shout about it!
We want smarter and better tasting travel experiences!
