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)!

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!
