@CaraMia200 Having just returned from Guangzhou, I can confirm that pretty much every motorbike on the road was electric and probably around 80-90% of cars.
It's particularly noticeable in high traffic areas where you don't hear any engine noise (just honking) and the air quality is clean.
@hawksfanqld It was perfectly fine. Fairly modern and comfortable aircraft. No inflight entertainment - probably because it's only a short 3 and half hour flight and it would probably all be in Chinese anyway.
Price is affordable for what you get. The food is just so-so.
@clarkes@CGDay21 Having once worked in retail in my younger years, I go out of my way to be nice to people who work in retail (unless they're surly cunts) because I know just how fkn awful some people can be.
Apparently there's another "high profile celebrity" facing sex allegations who's filed an injunction preventing them from being named in the media.
Anyway, it's almost Christmas.
๐ถ The first Noel the angels did say..
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay...๐ถ
Oh and another thing. Thereโs an Air Marshal on EVERY China Airlines flight in and out of China. They wear a small video camera and record you as you enter the plane and then do a walk thru to ensure everyoneโs behaving themselves during the flight. We need this on the bogan bus.
@JsTonyMoo2 I also really liked fenghuang ancient town, kinda similar to Hoi An but much bigger and less touristy but then we were there during low season but it was very peaceful during the day and the locals were lovely and softly spoken which surprised me. But you only need 3 nights there
@JsTonyMoo2 I didnโt think much of Changsha but enjoyed Guangzhou a lot. Weโre already thinking of going back as we only had a three night stay. We stayed in Liwan which was a nice residential area with good food options a nice big park with a lake and a nice local vibeโฆ
The China Airlines Cabin Crew are hyper-efficient and vigilant with the boarding process.
Barking orders at people blocking the passage.
I don't know what they're saying but it sounds a lot like "find your seat, sit the fuck down, fasten your seatbelt and shut the fuck up...!!"
@AJT2010 It's perfectly acceptably.
We're now pulling away from gate 15 mins ahead of schedule. It was the same story on the way over.
The food is not to my liking; rice noodles with pork balls, fish balls in a sweet/savoury sauce.
But it's only a 3 and a half hour flight to Penang.
