The Strauss-Khan update in anime form

Yes we are following this story.
Mood: Intrigued!

What’s your opinion? Guilty or not guilty?

I think they renovated (but I’m not sure)

Posted on May 22, 2011 by CVS

Yesterday I made sure to check out the restrooms at the arrival area of NAIA, Terminal 1.
The floor and wall panels certainly look “new”

Even though it has that old Japanese retro feel, kind of like those really old ’70s restrooms you can find in parts of Tokyo.
Somebody bothered to put plants. I’m not sure all of them are real.
Note the scary, retro lavatory and fixtures with left and right faucets, as if they didn’t know that more hygienic, hands-free, automatic sensor faucets exist.

This was inside the toilet stall, yes somebody bothered to decorate

Sad to say the toilet bowl is still retro (no offence to retro)

Tapos, walang tubig. See that giant blue, cracked drum of water there? The restroom attendant scoops water after each toilet use and flushes the toilet manually kasi no running water.
In fairness, she really did manage to keep the restroom odor-free. I really wish she had a fishbowl for tips because she really deserved to be rewarded for her efforts. That girl is waiting for her turn to use the toilet.

NAIA, when are you going to fix it?

Singapore Airlines is my new favorite airline

Posted on May 22, 2011 by CVS

Can’t believe I enjoyed both flights, round-trip from MNL-SIN-MNL, as in I didn’t feel scared at all (okay maybe for 2 minutes on the way back). But Singapore Airlines is my new fave because Cathay Pacific had two scary incidents only this month.
Here are some pics from flying SQ:
