Assorted Notes

Just some quick observations...

UA still sucks rocks. Horrible experience going HKG-SIN compared to my SQ flight from SFO-HKG. No video on demand. Cabin drier than Las Vegas in summer. Bleagh.

And speaking of the flight over on SQ *swoon*, why is it on EVERY flight I've taken to Hong Kong, regardless of carrier (UA, CX, SQ), there are ALWAYS screaming rugrats in Economy? And why do I always get seated within screaming range of at least three of them?

The sunrise as we were about an hour out of HKG

Not that I have anything against rugrats...they're nice, as long as they're not mine!! WHAHAHAH!

After several stays at The Inn Crowd, I'm staying here this time. Some observations.

Great facilities. Rooms feel like rooms and not a big dormitory. On top of a mountain!

Kick-ass view from the rooftop deck!

Here's the rooftop deck!

Free Nescafe coffee! Got real restaurant next door! Bathrooms MUCH cleaner and nicer. Comfortable beds (not bunk) and decent air con.

Real beds! And a place to keep your stuff, sorta...

Now the bad. DSL slower than dialup. NO WI-FI! Location is a bit removed (meaning a taxi ride or a 20 minute walk to go down the hill). Brekkie for S$7.00 for toast, hash brown cakes, breakfast weenies, apple juice, cereal and diner coffee is just a bit too much.

I did just get here so I will reserve judgement...
