Every few years I try durian again
to remind myself why I don't like
it. Feel no guilt about wasting
half an hour - you wouldn't believe
how much time I waste looking at
stuffonmycat.com and pictures of
airline food!
pictures of airline food...please explain
airlinemeals.net (but it hasn't
been updated for a while). If
you ever REALLY want to avoid
your thesis, it's easy to trawl
through pictures of airline
food for hours. We leave for
Copenhagen tomorrow and I already
know what Singapore Airlines
will probably be feeding me!
LOL. to think its possible... im off to check it out. Have a great trip!!!!! IM SO JEALOUS!!!!
