Tickets – check
I just bought the tickets! They should arrive in the mail in about a week.
I’m going to go via Frankfurt (both to and from). And what they didn’t tell me on the site, also Singapore, apparently. I guess it’s just a intermediate landing.
- Helsinki – Frankfurt: 2.5 h
- 4.5-hour wait in Frankfurt
- Frankfurt – Singapore: 12 h
- 1.5-hour wait in Singapore
- Singapore – Sydney: 7.5 h
I’ll stay in Sydney for 18 days.
- Sydney – Singapore: 8 h
- 1.5-hour wait in Singapore
- Singapore – Frankfurt: 13 h
- 5.5-hour wait in Frankfurt
- Frankfurt – Singapore: 2.5 h
In total: 28 h + 30.5 h. They better let me have a book in my hand luggage!
When I was paying the tickets I noticed that my balance was a bit tight… after the wad of money (or should I say a whole lotta ones and zeros, binarily speaking) had been removed from my account I was left with 12,66 €. Whoopsie. 
Payday isn’t until October 10th so I had to take some money from my saving’s account (especially as I’ve been planning to buy the phone next week).
This’ll be my longest holiday in a looong time. I don’t think I’ll go to work right the next day even though I’ll arrive in Finland early afternoon (which can change of course).
Next step: ETA/Visa

:O! Hope you have fun! Take loads of pictures! Sydney is such a wonderful place, I wish I can drop by there sometime..
wow… very long hours! Better bring a book with you (are you going there to visit relatives or just having fun?) =]
I’m going to the wedding that I was invited to with this.
So it’s a bit of both (relatives and fun), I guess, even though they aren’t technically my relatives.
