Hopefully I could make it because it is only 1 continent left so far. Yaaaaay!
Here are the stories of my traveling which I would start from my current trip and will do my best to get my previous trips from the others years to have you enjoy with me. You will learn how to love traveling with me, I know that!
Today I am now not home but in the hotel in Thailand by the river. Ibis Riverside Bangkok http://www.ibis.com/gb/booking/room-dates.shtml is pretty my usual hotel in Bangkok recently. The room is good with all of the necessities I must need. Location is perfect for me because I could go to anywhere in the city by boat, sky train, and I could go to the market where I need to get supplies for my business http://www.exotiqueimports.com/ pretty easily.

On top of that, the price and the service mind of the staff here. I don't recall if there is anytime I needed to be with the rude one, imagine that? I always make any reservations on my own started from flight, hotels, and any activities by reading from reviews on many many websites. I always got the best price with Ibis Riverside Bangkok and never disappointed so far. But guess what happened this trip?
I could not imagine how this happened, you know? I missed my room here for a couple nights and I needed to go to somewhere else because October 23rd, 2014 has been fully booked.
Anyway, let start from the beginning of this trip together. I usually flew to anywhere with United airline who is one of the members of Star Alliance http://www.staralliance.com/en/ which you could learn more about them to get the most benefits you may have. This trip I flew from TPA, Tampa International Airport as usual and woke up since 3am of October 20th. YES, you heard it right. I woke up since 3am and arrived airport around 4.40am to check myself in without trouble.
Yup, here we are at the United counter to check in with all of these ground service crews that early. They are helpful and always so nice even they did not sleep all night long. This trip I went to use a machine which you must familiar with them somehow. They have been with these crews for quite sometime to help out if there is a long line of the passengers. The machines will help you a lot more and way faster than waiting for the crews. No, No, No.... do not get me wrong. They are fast and know what they are doing very well but sometimes the passengers had some questions, some problems so they needed to help. Using the machine is pretty easily and take only a few minutes to be done.
The machine I used was quite different rom the picture though. If I don't forget about it I will have my own picture to show you on the way back home. You could easily swipe your passport, United member card, or just type your flight number into the machine to get your flight informations on the screen to work with. The machine would ask if your full name, your date of the trip, you travel by yourself, have any kids with you. Then it would take you to the suitcase check in and finally after keep putting all the answers to it. You will get the boarding passes printed from the machine. Lastly, the crew would come to you and take your suitcases to weight and give you back the badge to claim them once you are landed to your destination.
This trip was my first time with Asiana airlines http://us.flyasiana.com/C/en/main.do which was quite nice with Asian service. Not so sure if you know what I am saying about " Asian service", haha...

I traded my miles which I collected from mileage account with United airlines for this trip. So my trip this time will be quite different from any other trips. I flew to Seoul, South Korea instead of Narita, Japan and I will make a transit at Beijing, China on the way back home. So far, I am quite satisfied with my trip especially the part that I landed in Bangkok since 10amish not around midnight like usual.

Asiana airlines is another airline from Korea and getting more popular among Asian airlines from their services and how much people love and crazy about Korea. If you notice pretty closely you will see what I am seeing and the facts that I have known for so long about being Asian.
Those flight attendants are mostly young, pretty, and skinny, don't you think? In Asia, the appearances, sizes, ages, and your images pretty much judge and guide who you will be or who you could be. I need to admit that as I am one of the Asian girls who struggled with those factors before when I was in Thailand. If I have more time, next blog I would talk about the Asian flight attendants qualifications as a person who also experienced apply for that job before.
Well... let me go to bed and have a little kitten nap before going to explore Bangkok today. I am experiencing a bad jet lag tonight. I went to bed at 2am and woke up before 6am today. I'd better go to bed for a little to not keep doing this again and again for a whole week.
