I have commented on the picture taken of Singapore CBD before but I felt obliged to say it here again. Truly a work of art; quite unlike any other similar themed pictures I have seen. Being a native Singaporean, your picture brings out the beauty of the city in quite a different way. Thank you for sharing! ^
About your stay at KL Grand Hyatt, it's such a new hotel and I have heard good things. Perhaps consider sharing more pictures of the rooms, restaurants etc to benefit other FTers...:cool: |

Myth about the Great Wall can be seen from space
Ever since I was a child, I have heard that the Great Wall is the only man made object can be seen from the moon. As a naive child, I believed it and continued to believe it well into my adulthood. I guess it was one of those myth that no one seems to be bothered to analyze whether it is scientifically possible.
Well! My own experience is not exactly scientific. The following photos were taken from the SQ flight soon after take off in a bright clear sunny morning. (It does not happen often in Beijing). The first photo below is the actual photo that I did not crop or enlarge it. As you can see, it was already very hard to see the Great Wall within 90 seconds after the plane took off. In subsequent photos, you will see the plane flew directly above the Great Wall within 3 min after taking off. The Wall was already hard to see. I enlarged a few photos showing a stretch of the wall near the lake. The plane was only about half way to cruising altitude and the Wall was already hard to spot. Ok! F all of you science geeks and experts out there, please don't flame me for my eyeball observation to dispel the myth of noon can be seen from outer space. For more information about the Great Wall is impossible to be seen from the moon, check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Wall_of_China http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...1000/ry%3D750/ http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...1000/ry%3D750/ http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...1000/ry%3D750/ http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...1000/ry%3D750/ http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...1000/ry%3D750/ http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...1000/ry%3D750/ http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...1000/ry%3D750/ http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...1000/ry%3D750/ http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...1000/ry%3D750/ |

I like flying Singapore Airlines for its consistency in high quality offerings of both hard and soft products. I am not into the Singapore Girlish hypes, but more focused on the services they provide rather than the looks or the uniform they wear.
From the seats to IFE, from the wine selection to the quality of caterings, SQ just know how to do services right regardless of the elite status of the passengers, IMHO. SQ does not usually provide complimentary upgrades or upgrade instruments to its elite passengers to maintain and ensure high quality premium cabin offerings. Personally I don't see any problems with that approach. In this particular flight, there were only two passengers (one of them was me) in this mini cabin of 18 seats, and the entire business class cabin was less than 15% full in this 2-class aircraft. Services were outstanding! I go out of my ways to fly UA for its schedules and route networks and obtain status for rainy days during irregular operations. I go out of my way to fly LH for its consistency and the network to major business centers in Europe for my several EU business trip a year. But, I go out of my way to fly SQ to actually enjoy the flying experience. http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...D720/ry%3D480/ http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...D720/ry%3D480/ http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...D720/ry%3D480/ http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...D720/ry%3D480/ http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...D720/ry%3D480/ http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...D720/ry%3D480/ http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...D720/ry%3D480/ http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...D720/ry%3D480/ |

It operates flights on medium and long-haul routes from Singapore, initially to Australia and China, using Boeing 777 aircraft obtained from its parent company, Singapore Airlines. Its head office is in Terminal 1 at Changi Airport in Changi. Scoot's fleet is expected to consist of four Boeing 777-200ERs (operated as 777-200s) with plans in place to have 14 aircraft by 2016. As of August 2012, it has 4 Boeing 777-200ERs. Its initial fleet was acquired from its parent airline and reconfigured with a new seating layout and modified engines. Singapore Airlines announced on 24 October 2012 that the 20 787 Dreamliners currently on order would be transferred to Scoot to support its growth plans. http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...D720/ry%3D480/ |
