I always feel that I have things that i wanna write on my blog, for other ppl to read about me... But everytime i come online, i'll always end up doing something else such as reading the forum page on Airliners.net or looking at airlinemeals.net or some other rubbish...
Anyway, Mummy is now here with me. She's here to celebrate my 21st... and i'm likg OMG, i can't believe it's August already and I'm turning 21! Argh... Anyway, yeah, Mummy's going to be here for 2 weeks and we're going to maybe go down to Greenwich and Canary Wharf on Wednesday. And then on Friday, she's going to stay at my hotel in hopefully 207 (which should be no problem if Mr Codron or Mr Calder doesn't come), which is what I would consider the best room in the hotel (not counting the Suites, of course). Then on Saturday, we're going to take the Eurostar down to Brussels for the National Day Weekend, and we're going to stay at the Ibis Hotel off Grand Place, which is a fantastic location.
And speaking of hotels, sometimes I am really glad that I am working in the hotel, why? Because I think the staff rates are incredible! I was actually thinking of going to Edinburgh at first and the staff rate at the 4-star Radisson SAS there is GBP31!! Juz slight more expensive than the YHA hostel. And the staff rate of the 5-star Radisson SAS which is supposedly one of the top 5 hotel in Brussels is just EUR41!! My colleague would be staying in Radisson Sydney Downtown for juz GBP21, which is like, S$65? Would you believe that? The only problem with staff rates is that they have to be booked way in advance, and are not always available... Which is why i am staying at the Ibis Hotel, and that is like EUR60 per night.
