Osaka and Otaru

Finally my family's going to Sapporo,where it's very cold and very romantic...but there's a catch...

this is what you dream about...a souped up B777 of your dreams



Unfortunately i only enjoy this if i was doing either of these
1)me and steady go to Paris for a romantic getaway
2)my (extended) family goes to HK disneyland
3)you and your chums go to Milan or Barcelona in style,WAGs shopping and guys booing those Interisti or Milanisti on 11/03...or maybe your chums want to watch a Champs League match anytime(don't sing YNWA to them)

Never mind...the normal one's still nice.here's how it looks



apparently I can't be bothered with seatguru so I'd just sneak out and smoke away at the window seat if i've got one for the 0115 flight...hahahaha can don't need to sleep liaoz.things to do on the plane:

1)1st 2h watch flag of our fathers.I missed that so I'll watch it on the plane.i just don't believe the gridiron gang won't be on for feb but apparently the cinemas are still showing the movie...wow
2)next 1h.nintendo...whoosh super mario!
3)next 2h.learn French on the plane...hahahaha,maybe order alcohol...although i think it's a no-no
4)last 1h.fatigued,so maybe listen to more music.they have BSB and Ricky Martin,while eating breakfast that's pretty much costs $9-$12 on the ground
5)sleep on the domestic flight.

oh yes 3 weeks left so I don't know if i miss my frens or not,so here's something to ponder about what to order when on the plane

Taken from some airliner review site:
Wine, beer, spirits and cocktails, are all free. All wine is poured for you from large bottles kept on the trolley. All beer is opened before you get it, and all cocktails are mixed in the galley and brought to you complete at your seat. Cabin crew on SQ are quite insistant on this rule, and will not serve closed cans.

But yes, I did say cocktails - even economy gets a small list to choose from. In business you'll get a separate wine and cocktail list, and you can have endless delights with the selection, and you'll find many many ex-pats on the flights regularly sampling them. The drink trolley however just has one red & white, plus champers, so any special orders (like, a selection) have to come from the galley.
Raffles drinks service in Business

In economy the drinks and cocktails list is in the menu you get at the start of the flight. The drinks trolley is always loaded up with just one bottle of white and red - however the menu will always list one red and two whites, but will list them as by locality, not type. This unusual ommission can be rectified by asking the crew, however if you do this, and ask for the "wine that isn't on the trolley" then you'll probably have a long wait for a glass of the stuff.

The airline spends about £15 per passenger for food and beverages in economy, £30 in business class and £40 in first class. This is at least 10% higher than industry averages, to make passengers feel happier - its worth asking the cabin crew which wine they recomend, as most are trained to spot a good one.

Drink trolleys freely circulate even the economy cabin during the first few hours of the flight, but if you aren't in the isle seats, getting the trolley to stop can be a different matter. However Singapore is one of the few airlines where the cabin crew don't mind if you press the crew call button.
Hardy's Chardonnay


Economy drinks on Singapore Airlines
There is normally a choice of two white wines, and one red. The white wines are commonly listed by country, not by type (eg: German white, or French white). It pays to ask the crew what the selection and the grape variety is, and insist that they open a bottle of what you want, not the generic stuff that is on the trolley.
French Red

White - Hardy's Colombard Chardonnay
Little can be said about this. Its pleasant, easily quaffable, and makes the 35,000 feet wizz by. 12.5%.

Red - French Chateaux Nurf
Dry, almost bitter, with little in the way of initial taste. The after-taste will make your eyes water. 10.5%.

Economy Cocktails
Gin Fizz
Really just a gin and tonic, but with added lemon juice, this is a good refreshing one to start the journey with.

Screwdriver
A bad choice - the crew make it very strong and you'll soon loose consciousness.
Bloody Mary Mix as it comes in the can


Bloody Mary
"Singapore Airline's Bloody Mary mix has been famous since the 70s. Its one all the regulars ask for."
Kirtley - A Singapore Veteran

The Bloody Mary mix comes in a small tin, and the vodka is added by the crew. I love this. It's one of my favourites on the plane.

Manhattan
Just a normal Manhattan, but in a plastic glass with a swizzle stick.

Singapore Sling
Gin, benedictine, cointreau, brandy, grenadine, lime and pineapple... it is just like the Business Class version, except it comes... in a bottle! This is now loaded as standed on the economy trolley.
