A refreshing lonkero in a pleasant sunny 19°C. I love many things about Taiwan/Asia, but this is why I live in Finland. Flight arrived an hour ahead of schedule, breezed through immigration (Moi.... Kiitos), ordered train ticket on phone while walking to the station, and here I am with 20 min between trains. I feel much calmer here than places with a constant background noise that I can't switch off.

Since I'm roaming I've switched off data on my #XperiaX (secondary phone) but kept cell reception on for calls/texts to my Finnish SIM. Battery life on idle is crazy! Look at this after ~8 days without charging (the phone was on the whole time). #SailfishOS #SailfishX

The 11th edition of Pink Dot in #Singapore, an annual #LGBTQ+ event that ends in a pink light-up, happened on 29 June 2019. This year saw a much stronger proclamation to repeal Section 377A of the Penal Code, which forbids sex between two men, even if private and consensual.

Honestly it's ridiculous that 377A still persists here when other Asian countries like Taiwan and India are ahead in this aspect, so "Western values" aren't the problem 🙄
