SQ671, 9/8/09, 9V-STC, 21/30 J class pax, v bumpy ride, captain asked crew to sit down and suspended inflight service 2x, due to summer heat over south china sea, v unstable.

both at gate A21. Nagoya is HOT, 34C!

met the model for the Jap version of SilverKris magazine on SQ671 (c the red SIA girl at the door)..v friendly, obliging and sincere...i asked for playing cards and she went round the galleys to check if there were different versions and added other stuff!! fantastic!!! tt malay man is the inflight supervisor who asked for the cute hot japanese sake bottle back (c pic) cos he said that he needs to account for it (i was the only one who ordered hot japanese sake)...he don't smile much..really like an army encik....SIA cabin crew are v sharp nowadays...

c the elaborated lunch...fantastic!!

managed to get 2 SIA teddy bears after much pleading..highly sought after...c tt japanese uncle on SQ672, the Jap SIA girl was giving him the SIA teddy bear the moment he stepped on board!! beat me to it...

overrall a satisfied trip!! SIA collection expanded!! museum opening soon!!

I wonder if you could use proper english, instead of shortcut english/singlish. Not everyone here could understand what you are talking about.

By the way, nice pics..

I thought Tokyo station is the world's biggest.

Incidentally, to do Nagoya properly, I think more than a day is required - bear in mind that Toyota town is also not too far away from Nagoya and worth a visit.

I've found Nagoya to grow on me to become one of my favourite cities in Japan the second time I went there - and its beauty comes out if a local Nagoyan is able to show you the city for what it is.

And yama-chan rocks.

Shinjuku in Tokyo is supposed to be the busiest station.
Nagoya is the largest by floor area ( the whole complex, incl shopping concourse etc).

Hahahaha I was just about to add a Yama-chan comment! I miss those chicken wings!

Add the Aquarium and you're already talking a very long day! Then there's: Arimatsu Narumi Shibori Kaikan, Atsuta Jingu Shrine, Nagoya Castle, Noritake Garden, Tokugawa Art Museum, etc. Add the killer restaurants and bars and you've got a week EASY!

I totally love the place and am glad SQ's A330 is now flying there! Could make life a lot easier on me to finally have NGO as an option.

But.............


no F on the A330. Are you sure? Maybe better to stick to what you know and go NGO-NRT-SIN in F

Hmmm...yeah...you might be right...

You do know that NGO-NRT is not an easy flight. Bullet Train, yes.
