My week

Post by pvr » Sat Jan 18, 2014 4:31 pm

Just got back from Singapore, longest I have ever been in a plane. 13.5 hours to Hong Kong and another 4 hours to Singapore, I am "planed out" now  :))

Interesting place though, fantastic hotel

Depressing distance …

And no crime.

Also, you can't buy chewing gum there, great for not stepping into that sodding stuff  :))

It's quicker direct!  Unless you needed to go via HK of course?

6 weeks? Do you ever work?  :P

Way up was a bit eventful, drunk passenger on board so takeover aborted and return to terminal. Then the tow truck got stuck to the plane causing a 3.5 hour delay.

Missed the connection in HK so the trip was even longer …

The others that I was meeting there from Europe had taken the Dubai and Malaysia routes, but none are ideal as they have longer stop overs.

Would have preferred BA but at that price, forget it. I could have resprayed the whole of Sanj's car for that difference  >:D
