Half Way

In keeping up with tradition , I am posting from Singapore Changi Airport.  Got to fly on the new A380, that thing is huge.  Sadly I didnt splurge out on one of the suites, instead settling for the  character building cattle class.   The inflight entertainment has had a bit of a revamp - you can now take your own usb stick on board, plug it into the seat in front of you and watch your own movies, or even more exciting, read your very own pdfs.  Unfortunately I didnt know this ahead of time so instead got to choose from the selection of TV/movies they already had which, luckily, is pretty decent. I settled for a various episodes of House, Inbetweeners (missing the new series back in the UK :( ), Peep Show and Flight of the Conchords in between random bouts of sleep.

I think the reason I go home to Oz every year and a half or so is that it is just long enough to forget how painful the flight is.  12 hours sitting still is a lot more tiring than it sounds.  And I am saying that with half the flight left !!  Luckily I have managed to score an emergency exit seat on the way to Melbourne so that should make things a bit less painful.  

Below is a picture of my faithful chariot - courtesy of the wonders of digital cameras, laptops and free wifi.  Aint modern life grand.
