Don’t, just don’t

I’m a bit behind, as usual. Vacation dementia. The long distance flights were quite relaxing, I managed to binge watch the whole 7th season of Game of Thrones, had tons of food and even caught a short nap or two. Service on both SIA and NZ flights was outstanding, the food was really good, too.…

Join the Joyride

It’s fascinating that NZ is still stuck in the 80s, musicwise. I’ve been coming here for 14 years now and the music that is played in cafes, restaurants, supermarkets is still exactly the same. It’s like the whole country has just one tape. 🙂 Charming! So, where we at? Our routing was TXL-ARN-SIN-AKL, all business…

Luggage bonanza

Have safely arrived in Auckland last night. And guess what, now Singapore Airlines has managed lose our second bag as well. Wonderful. It never left ARN apparently. We were already suspicious when checking in Monday morning because the agent sent us to the oversize luggage counter. Although it’s a 50L backpack that still fits hand…

Scandinavian fuck-ups

So, first leg from TXL to ARN. Easy, right? We had a „SAS Plus“ ticket, what they think is business class 😀 … and arrived in Stockholm on time last night. What didn’t arrive, however, was our bag. It had been left on purpose (!) in TXL because apparently there wasn’t enough room in the…

Hello Singapore, again, pt II

Singapore was nice, as usual. We returned to stay at the Parkroyal on Pickering hotel, only that I’d managed to get a junior suite this time. I think I’ve raved about this wonderful hotel enough already last May, so I’ll keep it short and simple: perfect. Building, staff, room, food, atmosphere, 10 out of 10,…

Hello Singapore, again

Our last two days will be spent, again, in Singapore. Which means food, food, food for me. ☺ On Thursday we drove to Auckland, stopping for ice-cream (surprise, eh?) and a nice lunch at The Farmer’s Cafe (or similar) at Papamoa. Then on to the big smoke, chilling out in the domain in the afternoon…

MacNut OD

I finally found out how I want to die. For many years, I thought it would have something to do with football and Werder Bremen. But football has become more and more boring over the past 10 years or so, there’s not much love lost anymore. So how do I want to die? Easy. I…

Back in Paradise

The whole concept of Islamic suicide attacks has always been a mystery to me. Why would you need 72 virgins? Just imagine, 72 women constantly around you, I bet you’d wish for your suicide vest rather sooner than later. Anyway, it’s all useless rubbish, because you don’t need to commit suicide by killing kaffirs, all…
