Superbird, A380

Yay! We’ve arrived at the airport, gone through the checkpoints without quarentine checks, rode the cab by a Hong Konger who moved here 34 years ago, checked into the serviced apartment, set up our bank account and had a terrible “Cafe de Macau” teabreak. 

We’re officially in Sydney! 

Here’s the awesome A380 Business Class — whee! 

That's mah feet!

It’s the first time I was ecstatic that the plane had a delayed take-off.  More time to enjoy the spacious seats and movies!

Nice and comfy, filling out the immgration card

Shows watched:  Juno, The Other Boleynn Girl, Grey’s Anatomy and Bee Movie.  No time for Blood Diamond.

Kept warm with a thick blankie

Gorgeous food!

Clockwise from top-left: Appetizer – Thai style spicy scallop, green mango salad with mesclun, my maincourse – Steamed herbal chicken in natural broth, fine beans with hon shimeji in XO sauce, mushroom rice (Sam Leong’s creation for SIA), his maincourse – Panfried tournedos of beef in herb sauce with seasonal vegetables and gratin potatoes, DESSERT – cherry ice cream with chunky chocolate and whole cherry served with vanilla sauce and tuile.  Later we were served gourmet cheese, fresh fruit, coffee/tea and pralines!

Yums.

Time for bed... Zz...

We were both pretty happy watching movies, but just HAD to try to the fully reclined bed!  Ended up watching the shows lying down…

My neighbour, who just woke up and looking for the stewardess for food

Knocked out

Gonna miss those seats!
