landing london

august 9-23, 2009
the office sent me abroad for the 3rd time and this time, i was sent, together w/ 2 of my colleagues, to two countries in the UK, England & Wales. in fact, we only learned later, through our british boss, that we actually hopped from one country to another hehe.
we flew etihad to abu dhabi for 8 hours then abu dhabi to london for about 14-more exhausting hours.
my etihad breakfast; not bad, even on coach, there's tv for each passengers which contained dozens of new movies, tv series & music
arriving at abu dhabi, wondering how the weather was outside
ofcourse i looked for the first smoking room i can find. that's their smoking room poster, it was accurately a smokeless-smoking room i tell 'ya!. abu dhabi's airport terminal was impressive, internet as well was efficiently fast & available in every corner, we facebook-ed while we waited for our connecting flight to london *:)

my mother's uncle, uncle franco, greeted us at the heathrow airport; mama mia theater poster at the background.
we had lunch at a restaurant inside the airport. take a look at these fabulous desserts, yummy!....but expensive (when converted to peso that is)!

at the avis terminal near the airport to pick up our prepaid rental car; right-hand driving through london
above were my chaperones ahehe, cyril and vince (w/ cap)
our UK offices are located in cardiff, wales. including our miscalculated routes, road mishaps etc, it took us a total of 6 hours to get to land of the welsh. next, post, Wales!
