Sunshine, Festivals and the Lion [Day 2]

We slept really soundly the first night. When we woke up that morning, it was daybreak. Briskly packing our stuff, we took one last glance at the hotel room and bid the place goodbye. We had a quick breakfast at a local eatery and called a cab to bring us to Changi. We checked into Emirates, which personally is the best flight I had ever been on in my life. Everybody were dressed so formally, men in formal attire fit with matching ties, and women with red headpieces that make them look damn elegant. It was like a flight fit for a paradise on earth.

The flight was seven hours long, so I popped a motion sickness pill half an hour before the flight. Seven hours may be a long stretch of time, but for me it wasnt. It wasnt enough, Emirates had too much things to do that you easily lose track of time. There was a touchscreen device located in front of you, which you can use to watch movies all over the world of different languages and also subtitles, and also various songs. Nolstagic songs I have long not heard of. These include

  • Love Story wa Totsuzen Ni
  • Kaze ni Naru - The Cat Returns
  • Tonari no Totoro - My Neighbour, Totoro
  • Doraemon no Uta - Doraemon
  • Moonlight Densetsu - Sailormoon
And of course, exciting series like Family Guy and TBBT (The Big Bang Theory). It was the best flight experience every. The stewards/stewardesses were polite and efficient with their job. The flight had blankets and pillows you can use to make yourself more comfortable. The flight was amazing on many levels that cannot be explained with mere words of my standard. It was stable, the take off and landing were amazing that you won't fill a tad dizzy or nauseous. It was great. Five stars, but if I could give more I would chip in extra stars.

The Emirates Flight. Best flight ever. Adios to the crew members that gave us the best treatment in the world!

Watching TBBT (The Big Bang Theory) in the aircraft :D Knock Knock Knock, Penny?
We reached Brisbane at about 9:00 p.m. at night. Driving back to my eldest sister's place takes about half an hour, so when we reached we talked for a while. My second sister, my brother; Young and his girlfriend; Su Min were also there, My second sister was helping them pack my brother's stuff. He flew in from Adelaide to attend my sister's wedding - and so he packed his stuff that used to be in my eldest sister's house because he used to live there in the past.

We slept early that day, because we had a lot to see the next day. That marks the end of day 2 :P
