In between

4 countries in less than 2 weeks-

1st week- SIN-HKG-SFO-ICN-SIN
2nd week- SIN-KIX-SIN

But it's not all good...

Duty travel to SFO, its a nice place. Although USD has dropped alot but shopping still not cheap.

Had a terrible experience when coming back to Singapore from SFO. Missed the flight from Incheon to Singapore. I guessed i was dead tried and very unfocused. After the 12 hours flight from SFO to ICN without catching any sleep, i dont expect myself to be very alert. And worst of all take for granted the transit time as announced on the plane and did not double check.

Captain decided to offload me & my colleague and of course our luggages. Caused slight delay for 15 mins- I started imagining the disciplinary action to be taken against us as staff causing the delay. Panicked like mad. almost felt like crying already.

Putting that aside, we checked with local staff when is the next flight. It was tomorrow morning 9am. Another nightmare! The night at the terminal was terrible.. Cold, empty and no proper place to sleep. Checked with transit hotel- rates was ridiculous. USD 138 for 12 hours. So continue stranded inside the terminal. Managed to find a nice sofa outside the transit hotel and catched some sleep. Keep waking up though. 15 mins seemed like an hour. Total we spent 15 hours inside. plus the earlier 12 hours of flight from SFO-ICN and later ICN-SIN (6 hours), think more than 24 hours without proper sleep, no shower, washing face. Hair looks like a mess. Very ugly.

It was definitely a lesson learnt!

Next off to KIX ie Osaka.....
