Need to catch up with the delayed posts...has been couple weeks flying and lazy enough to update my blog, my apologize to those who are following my journey so far.
I got a nice long trip about 7 days to Bangkok and Syney then shuttle flight to Auckland. First of all, I really enjoyed Bangkok stay specially their Budhism culture and friendly people, and of course the famous Thai massage which was soooo relaxing and made me feel sleepy before the flight. In total we stayed 2 days in Bangkok and 3 days in Sydney. 2 crews and myself we took a boat to visit the temple, unfortunately the Grand Palace was closed that day so we changed the plan to visit only temples and then way down to MBK which is a big shpping centre for those who enjoy buying stuffs without caring if is fake or real brand...anyway shopping is a must do thing in Bangkok even though bargaining there is not like China, but still you can bargain for a good price! Believe this time i did learn to be smart and bought a lot of things to bring back home. Bangkok was quite hot since is summer...after finishing my shopping went back to hotel for a good massage then rest about 2 hours for the next flight.
Sydney, a lovely city, very modern and at the same time is a friendly city. One of the crew is Ran from China, very nice person and after we arrive the hotel at 8:00, the first thing was to sleep couple hours before heading out to Sydney downtown. We had a 15 minutes walk to china town to have our lunch and then walk around the city so he showed me some cool places to hang out and dinning sites. Finally I saw the beautiful Opera House... was a dream? Nooo...was for real! I was actually in front of it...so exciting! Then the second day along with some other crew and first officer we took a ferry to Manly, was extremely cold and windly, i know it was winter season but still...COLD! We had lunch and walked a bit sightseeing after all then head back to hotel for some drinks. It's definitely a good deal having lunch or dinner in the hotel, because as cabin crew we are offered 50% discount on the total bill...such a great deal, so turned out to be much cheaper than you going outside. Besides, it was a french restaurant, quite fancy and their food was well prepared!
Even though it was a 7 days trip, the crew was overall nice and helpful throughout the flights we did. I didn't have enough time to get to know Sydney better, but 3 days was enough to visit the biggest and most famous sites in Sydney. Didn't see koalas but stay tunned...my Brisbane trip is coming up!!

If you get Sydney again... to visit Sydney Tower is free for Qantas air crew if showing pass... maybe good to try show Emirates pass and perhaps get to go up for free??? :)
