… all on a 12 hour flight from Osaka to Frankfurt
- I can still understand quite a lot of German
- I can still READ quite a bit of German (keep in mind, I havn’t used it since around 1990)
- Having a bear with you, keeps you quiet. If you are around 4 years old (see photo)
- Internet on long haul flights should be essential. Power plugs would be good, too. GTALKing to Leonie at 35000 feet, are seeing her for 10 mins in Auckland airport after 2 weeks away (and when I was heading off for 2.5 weeks), is a REALLY good thing.
- half a sleeping pill == 2 hours of shut eye. Good to know :)
- Osaka -> Frankfurt goes, literally, over St Petersburg, which is quite depressing after 11 hours, when we have to fly BACK 2.5 hours :)
- Chicken Soup for the Soul should be essential, recommended reading for, well, everyone. Fantastic book.
- I can also read a lot quicker than I thought – when the content is good, and I’m otherwise stuck on a plane :)
Righto. Next stop, St Petersburg!
