splashtop for iPad
I just got splashtop for iPad… most essential app ever. I can now watch videos from my desktop PC beamed via the iPad to the AppleTV. I won’t go into why I do that, suffice to say you will know if you live abroad. Other essential app so far is airplayer.

Shopping List – Finland
In Finland, I spend most of my time here:
- Verkokauppa (computers, tvs, etc – check out the discount corner at the back)
- Stockmann (everything else, including books)

Shopping List – US
Whenever I go to the US, I try to get to the following shops:
- bestbuy or frys
- rei (sports gear – the one in Seattle even has a fake mountain trail to test your mountain bike on!)
- premium outlet stores (an absolute must – go to visitor center for extra discounts)
- cheesecake factory (never made it through one yet…)

Shopping List – UK
Here is my shopping list of favourite items from the UK:
- Heinz Baked Beans (staple diet of students)
- Jelly Babies
- Lockets (proactive help against colds – great for joggers)
- M&S iron-free shirts & dress shirts
- Real bowties
- Cufflinks (although this is a US site… there used to be a great store in Greenwich that did churchill & yellow submarine cufflinks)
- Extra peppermint chewing gum in packs (great if you have drunk too much & do not want to vomit)
- T3 greatest gadget magazine (but I now get this on subscription)
- Rigby & Peller bras (for the wife, not me – all sizes & suitable for the queen)
