~Gone to Taiwan! The flight and airport experience~

Oh yeah~! So I am currently in Taiwan!

Why have I gone to this country? Well it’s because back in the year 2010, I had started learning a Corel Painter course in June, but I hadn’t been able to complete it since I’ve got only one month to stay at that time. Now, since I have already graduated from the University of Mauritius and before I got engaged in a job, I preferred to at least complete this course while I still got the free time.

I have been lucky too, got a free air ticket in the business class from Mauritius to Singapore and Singapore to Taiwan with my uncle who travelled a lot. So, it’s a great experience for me!

At 8 o’clock in evening, I took the Air Mauritius flight to Singapore via Malaysia.DSC00831

And yeah, I watched Ra-One, the indian movie! > w < Was kinda childish but I watched it till the end…during the mean time, dinner was served.DSC00836DSC00838DSC00840

The dinner wasn’t that bad, but I didn’t like the microwave taste of it…Loved the spring roll though!

A shot of the business class seats, they’re really larger and spacier than the economy class ones. The back of the seat can be inclined to a nearly lie-down position to make sleeping more comfortable. DSC00845

Me at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport in the above photo.

An incident happened to me when I arrived at the Changi International Airport. One of my luggages was soaked in wine when it came out of the conveyor belt. At first we thought it was wet due to the probable rain water, but it had such a smell that my aunt advised me to open the luggage and check the contents. Lucky that I did! I had loads of t-shirts in the luggage and one third of it was stained by the wine, purplish color was visible on them. Immediately, my uncle reported the problem to the airport and asked for damages, as we were certain that some of the stains would not go away even after laundry, and it was really the case! 5 of the t-shirts still had the stain and even after clean up the luggage bag still had the bad smell. But how much damages had we claimed, I have no idea!!

We stayed at Ritz Carlton Hotel for a night, enjoyed a simple lunch and a birthday celebration dinner for my uncle, and headed for Taiwan the next day.

Changi International Airport is really spacious, with beautiful and modern look, and loads of duty free shops!

Welcome aboard Singapore Airlines, introducing to you the Business class seat!DSC00970DSC00971DSC00972

The difference of Business Class and Economy Class is that, apart from the price and size of the seat, the meals are better, more delicious and the dishes are served one by one.

The satay was simply finger-licking good! The slightly sour salad sauce combined with the asparagus was “toppo nett”~The cod from the main dish was delicious~and the mint-choco icecream along with the passion fruit topping was the perfect combination! During this flight to Taiwan I watched Underworld and MIB during which I fell asleep, hehe.

Well that’s all for my flight experience to Taiwan! During my stay in Taiwan, I’ll gradually introduce places that I visited or found interesting, or maybe some photos of the food (which will mostly uploaded on my FB later on) that I had enjoyed!
