Would You Sit 23 Hours In A Metal Tube?
First class fare is estimated to be £14,000! I doubt that Aios will be available! There is a sort of gym area on board to enable some form of workout. I recently flew Sydney/Perth/Melbourne/Sydney, mostly business class, with Qantas, using Avios, and was impressed. Excellent service, good food, comfortable, the Sydney/Perth leg was an A330. Perth/Melbourne was economy, no avios business seats, but i booked the exit row, and it was fine. Choice of meal, not Michelin standard, but offered, and wine, plus a refill. Better than most European airlines.!

In Italy, they put a coffee bean in the glass, and set fire to the drink. Toasts the coffee bean!

I stay at the Meridien, executive floor. Great lounge, very comfortable, evening snacks mean you dont need to go out. Fantastic choice for breakfast. Short stagger to Patpong. But on pricey side.

Issue with Photos
Interestingly, my daily txts from "The Sword Interestingly, I've just noticed that the emails I get from "The Sword.com", are censored. I get the page, with pics of the various films available, normally 5, but when you click on them they come up with a black page, with an appeal to stop censorship, referencing Georgia, the state that is, not the country.

For me it is the Hollies! However classical music can do it too for me, Alfred Brendel playing Schubert at the QEH, Claudia Arrau, Liszt, at the RFH, Goodall conducting Tristan at the ENO.

Questions regarding upcoming Cambodian trip
Is that just travel insurance? If so, i would think that would not cover you if you settled in another country, ie Cambodia?

Love Interest 2026 Update
Things have not improved. I help to support a children's home in Siem Reap, and visit once a year. My guide said about 30% of the population are illiterate, and the country is controlled by Hun Sen and his family, together with the Chinese. They care little about the people. The freshwater lake of Tonle Sap, for example, which used to expand, in the rainy season, to be the biggest lake in South East Asia, is slowly degrading, due to Cinese financed dams on the Mekong. 2m people rely on the expansion of the lake for their livelihood, the expansion brought young fish, new soil etc. I was told that the 2m people will, in effect be starved out. In the meantime the Government made personal profits of tens of millions of USD, building a huge, unnecessary, new airport 50 km from Siem Reap. I just read an article, which I cannot index, sorry PeterRS, which said that Cambodia ranked next to last in the worldwide corruption index! There seems some dispute about this, but I would suggest you have a good supply of brown envelopes! Having said that, i always enjoy my visits, the people are charming and helpful.

Questions regarding upcoming Cambodian trip
I use a private GP, sometimes, as I can see the same doctor, quickly, and I get 30 mins. NHS still functions, but difficult to get appointments, only 12 mins, etc. The private GP charges £120.00, actually reasonable, I think, but to put Bangkok into perspective, that is around 5,400 Baht!
