São Paulo, Brazil...Obrigado!

Oh yeah~São Paulo Brazil!!! I always want to go there and now finally I overcame my dream! Let's talk about ultra long haul flight...15 hours going to Sao Paulo and 13.30 coming back to Dubai~OMG...my first long haul flight and indeed was really tiring and exhausted! As per my friend's advice I took the second break which was only 4 hours and 30 minutes ...lol... huh....thanks god i managed to sleep and after woke up we had to set up the carts and prepare meals, was a different experience. Anyway, passengers were fine not so demanding however they enjoy gathering in our galley talking and talking, okay, I completely understand that because is a long flight and was FULL cabin in economy...i wouldn't have sit there throughout the flight.

We landed in Sao Paulo Guarulhos International Airport at 7:45pm, temperature was 17degrees C. Quite chilling though...we live in a great hotel! wow~the room was BIG and GORGEOUS...there is a hall walking to the bathroom and i got a nice view to Sao Paulo city, besides the entire room was just like a suite, best of all! Dunno why I felt soooo damn tired and sleepy, because I already made some plans to go out to experience brazilian night life...however, after having a drink with CA/FO/crews I FALLED ASLEEP~~~~couldn't wake up to catch a taxi...so I said to myself...28 hours layover in Sao Paulo is INSANE! I couldn't go many places specially night clubs since we arrived late and after 15 hours flight...so I am not a superman not even batman to do such crazy things. Hence, i decided to wake up early next day to go sightseeing and walk around in Sao Paulo.



Portugues is their official language, however you can still find some people who can somehow understand Spanish...I think they can understand more spanish better than spanish speakers understand portugues! Indeed, i could catch some words during a conversation, portugues sounds to me like a completely different language and probably Italian for me is easier to learn...well I guess...

I like Brazil, and brazilians are friendly, travelling by subway is a great deal instead of taxis. Whenever i got lost, I approached to people and asked them the direction to go, they could always show me the right way to get there. After having breakfast in the hotel, I took a taxi heading to PARQUE DE IBIRAPUERA, very green and fresh, people jogging and runng around the park, very healthy lifestyle! I forgot my tennis otherwise i would have gotten changed then join them! I felt the fresh air coming from every single leaf....ummmmm I need such pure oxygen to my lungs!!! In Dubai you rarely see those natural trees other than palms and sands...lol...

After visiting IBIRAPUERA park, I took a long walk about 20 minutes to catch subway...well this is the way to get around the city. No previous plan was made, I had a buffet lunch in Lotus Vegetarian Restaurant, so familiar to me and i loved it sooo much...delicious meal and for my surprise was crowded in lunch time! People in Brazil also love vegetarian meal hey~not only churrasqueria! (which means roasted beef in a metal stick then they cut it on your table). Walking in Consolação district I could really feel Sao Paulo, the financial center in Brazil and one of the most important in South America. Paulinista Avenue full of enterprises, business and shopps, next to it Rua Augusta, one of the famous night life areas where I should have gone to the night before. Next time...

Our company should arrange the layover time for us! is the way too short for crew to rest after a long flight! Why Houston got 48 hours layover and Sao Paulo only 28!? both have almost the same flight pattern but just 1 hour difference the way back...for me it is an ultra long flight! I talked to other airlines crew in the hotel, such as Delta, they came from Atlanta USA, 10 hours flight and they got 36 hours layover! even more than us! Why why why.... :-(((

Hopefully we open the route to Rio de Janeiro soon~hehehe inchala!

Johannesburg, no sightseeing....

Well, this is my first Johannesburg and can you believe that I did not go for any sightseeing! Anyway, we left from Dubai at 4:20am...and i didn´t manage to sleep at all probably only 1 hour~upon our arrival into Johannesburg the weather was nice and lovely but i felt sooooo damn sleepy and tired, plus exhausted because we had a medical incident on board...

For my surprise I met one taiwanes crew, haven't seen her for ages...she was crew from another flight and we stayed in the same hotel. So Linda insisted me to have a lunch with her which I enjoyed apart from my tireness...after that I went out with 3 crew members to the shopping mall to have something to eat and just walked around, then we headed back to hotel to catch up some sleep zzzzzzzzzzzz............

After 4 hours resting on my bed, I woke up at 8pm and was starving...rather than asking for room service I went back to that shopping mall and found a lot of restaurants, and i ended up having my exotic and fancy dinner at a thai restaurant, cost me 108 rands was a good dinner though. And the next day basically i went back AGAIN to that shopping mall to have breakfast but this time with other 3 different crew who i met at the lobby by coincidence bcz they were about to head out for BF. blablablablabla~my 26 hours Johannesburg was over! and the way back to Dubai i was operating as Business Class crew, sooooo exciting and interesting! I loved it even though we took nearly 4 hours to do the full service, but was a fantastic experience for me and guess what! I finished successfully my 6 months probation!!! Dah....

COFFEE ART...so nice huh~
