an update... from Amsterdam!


I have been taking far less pix than I thought I would... this is even more humiliating than walking around Brisbane with it, they get the "Koala" idea in Australia... Asia and Europe are a bit taken aback...


I do have some shots which I will upload once I make it to my final destination... so far I'm running approximately 4 hours behind schedule.


I'm a terrible FlyerTalker... I must admit, twice now I've been faced with the opportunity to get something out of an airline after things went sideways, and instead I was a typical consumer... determined to get to my destination close to the scheduled time at no matter what the cost... hense instead of spending 24 hours in Singapore on Air France's dime, I'm spending 4 hours in Amsterdam courtesy of KLM.


My goal is to get someone to take a pic of me with the FT Koala on one of the canal bridges... not sure IF I'll build up enough courage or find an english speaker... I wonder what the proper jeer phrase is in dutch that I should be anticipating?... lol

stay tuned...
