Cheers may-te!

This post was actually supposed to get online a little more than a week back when yours truly landed in Sydney! And I actually even typed out the different heads that I wanted to post about, but have been able to get around to doing it only now!

So here goes.. first in the series!

Landed in Sydney on the 10th after a hellish pre-journey experience that almost made me not come. and this time it had nothing to do with airlines or emigration rules or anything of the sort! Delhi's sweltering 49 degrees on Saturday combined with a colleague's farewell dinner on Friday night ensured that I came down with a severe attack of food poisoning! thank god for strong antibiotics that within 4 hours of consumption got me into enough of a shape to make it to the airport, clear all the formalities and then crash out in the plane!

About the journey itself... flew Thai airways for the first time. now, what I find hilarious about almost all airlines is the way they promote their economy class. Due to lack of anything else, the highlight for the class happens to be the superior range of in-class entertainment! of course, what makes the experience even more superior is that you don't even have a personal entertainment set on your seat in most airlines!!

Anyway, Thai did all of that too! what is also a little annoying is that the baggage limit is only 20 kgs. but have to say, their seats are quite comfortable, given that it is economy and all! there is a quite a bit of leg room as well. can't say anything about the food yet... was still too sick to eat, so am saving that experience for the way back!

So all in all, not a bad experience at all! and here I am in the land down under!
