Travelling is good

A month ago, I booked a s$2100 ticket for my spoilt/lucky brother to travel on SIA's second newest aircraft type (777-300ER) to Paris. We spent only 2 days there and needless to say, he enjoyed Paris as much as me but I'm still smelling the debt of the ticket.

I just came back from Zurich, my second in two weeks and I'm proud to say I've covered quite a bit of Switzerland. Switzerland has nice scenery but it definitely is a boring place to stay in. It's fortunate I didn't go there on my 11-days long leave in Aug.

On my first trip, I visited beautiful Lucern where the shopping streets are similar to the Old Town in Zurich, over-rated Trummelbach Falls, quite nice Staubbach Falls and boring Interlaken.

And on the second, I covered awesome Rhein Falls which is now killing me to visit Niagara Falls, and can't-see-why-its-a-cultural-heritage site Bern the capital.


We wanted to travel another hour and a half to Geneva and Lausanne but we didn't have the time to. Well, at least the next time I'm rostered to the common Zurich, I know where to go. Interestingly, I haven't visited any of the mountains that Switzerland is famous for; a pity considering its the starting of winter now (less cold but beautiful enough).

I'm loving my current roster cos I managed to change away my flights to go on two holidays this month (Zurich and Taipei); I'm gonna be around for mum's & bro's birthday; I'm rostered to MILAN (finally something good) on the 4th, and if nothing goes wrong, I'll head to San Francisco and my favourite HK on the 10th.

I was initially hoping to visit Hokkaido or Hanoi and Sapa on my 4 free days but unfortunately, seems like it's the wrong season for Hokkaido and Hanoi too boring for my friend.

Michael was away in Brisbane for more than a week and we managed to catch up for a quickie before he is now gone again for more than a week.

A boyfriend busier than a cabin crew + a cabin crew girlfriend = lonesome relationship.
