Sigh... back from paradise... well here are some updates from this trip I hoped never to return from.

Day 1 was basically travelling from one place to another. It was interesting, though, to observe the behaviour of PRC travellers aboard the flight. 30 minutes before the announcement for boarding, you could see flocks of these enthusiatic passengers cramming up before the gate. To make things worst, the airport seemed to run the PA system in English only, so the announcements like "please let the aged and children board first", or "Please queue up", took little or no effect.

Alighting from the plane was all the more hilarious. Before the plane came to a halt, the passengers were already unbuckled and fighting their way to the front door. The captain, who was american, then made an announcement, "Please be seated till the plane has come to a full stop". The announcement was further emphasised by exasperated stewardesses trying to babysit the passengers back to their seats.

Finally the captain got so pissed he raised his voice over the system and said, "Dear Passengers, if you do not sit down, I will not open the door!" ..... The passengers didn't care, for they didn't understand English.

So much for entertainment on Tiger Airways :)
