Were you taught how to walk across the street ?

Our lesson was to look straight ahead and slowly walk in the straight across the street and no-one will collide with you. Mrs Fox made me do it first and all cars, motor-bikes and everyone else just drove around me. Never saw any collisions in my time in Vietnam.

We were hesitating in Ho Chi, so someone came and dragged us across the road. You are right, 1, 2, 3 go.

Australians drivers are ultra aggressive. Too many wankers who think they have to beat you to the next red traffic light!

Same in Malta. No discernible road rules as such but not many accidents etc

Not really; if you try and cross a street in any Italian city and use the same method, you will suffer death by Vespa.

True :laughing:. Scooters everywhere- all gathering at the front at traffic lights- many arriving there via the opposite side of the road or even the footpath. Light turns green and it’s like a scooter GP :laughing::laughing:

Geez I hate airports
2 wines & a Pint only $106 @ Istanbul airport

Can probably buy a lounge pass for that and you get 4hrs unlimited food and beverages

Yep. They’re worth it if you have more than a 2 hour stopover.

Out of Australia i find its always good to grab a lounge on long lay overs.

Mainly for the shower than alcohol.

Just a travel hint for flying Qantas domestic on the 737-800.

Don’t get seat 9A.
There is no window. It’s just a wall where a window should be.

Why is this?

I’m pretty sure there is an AC duct there.

It’s not just Qantas, Virgin is the same.
Space is used for air con ducts and wiring.
Just a design issue

we’re doing a day trip to the Mekong Delta today. Were waiting for our guide outside the Saigon Opera House, which is a popular spot for couples to have wedding photos taken. Jimmy Bear took the opportunity to say hi to one couple and their very cute dog!
