No the price for spending my life upside down is that it takes about 7 hours of flying in a 747 to leave the Australian land-mass behind and be flying over water (toward Singapore or Hong Kong) -- and no, the wheels are not in contact with terra firma during those 7 hours. About 7.5hrs to Singapore or 8.5hrs to Hong Kong (I think -- never been that way before). Then 12.5hrs Singapore to Milan or maybe Munich a little longer to Frankfurt. Actually the main reason for the "0" rating is that I've quit my job and am surviving on what little savings I have in an effort to get this thesis finished without too many distractions. > I wonder whether RyanAir will go beyond Europe some time.
