Day 1 24/3/06 - Australia

Sydney -> Narita

Highlight

• Free Internet at Gate 31 of Sydney International Airport
  
• Everyone travelling on our flight seems to be from Japan or Korean, including lot of noisy Japanese schoolgirls (on a school excursion!) They usually seem so demure and polite...
• Waiting in queues..., 15 mins to check-in, 10 mins for customs, 10 mins to board plane
• Strict on weights with luggage for Qantas - ours weighted in at 41 kg. Saw heaps of people pulling stuff out of their bags or paying money for the extra weights.
• Duty Free shopping is very boring. They had a "Fine Food" store, which contained nothing except tourist food. The International Airport is exactly like a shopping centre food court, it has exactly the same chain store. Slokky walked pasted Krispy Kreme and didn't buy any, he says that everyone should be so proud of that achievement.
• Own TV on plane, tried to watch Chicken Little. Can anyone explain this movie? Watched bits and pieces of Pride and Prejudice. Keira Knightly has no boobs.
• Qantas' goodie bag quite stylish, but only had socks, toothbrush and mask.

Food

  • creamy cabbage salad
  • chicken caccatore with grean beans and potato mash
  • grileld sliced beef with soy and Japanese rice
  • spiced apple and custard
