Can business class and economy class passengers temporarily swap seats during the flight?
I believe that in general the answer is no but I also believe that it depends on people.I flew for a business in a business class long haul this year. My wife came to visit me for the last week of the trip and we flew back together on the same flight. I had a business seat and she had an economy. This was the only time we sat in the different seats, so it’s my only experience in this matter.After the take off I asked the flight attendant if I can swap with my wife for a few hours during the flight and she said that it wouldn’t be a problem. I need to mention that the business class was half empty, especially to the end closer to the economy class.We did swap the seats when everyone was sleeping and my wife had a nice 6 hours sleep on the flat bed.I am not sure about the services around as my wife didn’t ask for any food or drinks.Before the second meal we swapped back. They allowed my wife to sit in the business class seat next to me while landing as well.So, no problem there. In general, we are very nice and polite to the flight attendants and we never had any problem or any request declined.
My brother is like my dad?
My older brother (he's eighteen and I'm thirteen) is like my dad. He is super protective of me, he drives me to school, and he stays home with me when my Mom is away on business. My real dad lives in Georgia, and I haven't seen him in three years. When I'm really depressed he comforts me and lets me cry. He's my brother, but he's also a bit like my dad. Is this weird? I can't imagine living without him there for me.
What do Western people think of Singapore?
I was born and raised in the UK and I just got back from my first visit to Singapore about a week, or so ago. My thoughts:It was a great experience. The people are so much more friendly and willing to help than you often find in large cities in the UK. The food was lovely, as soon as I discovered the existence of Hawker markets I rarely went any where else. A delicious, filling meal for $2–4? At those prices, if I lived there, I’m not sure I’d bother cooking!I knew absolutely nothing about Singapore before I went there - other than that there was a colonial link to Britain at one point. Being honest, I didn’t expect the infrastructure to be as advanced as it was. Pretty good bus links and I found the MRT to be much superior to the London underground. Internet connections were good.I was experiencing some pretty large cognitive dissonance after my first few days, because in many other countries I have visited it’s possible to summarise the native people of that country. You may well be talking in stereotypes! But, most people who have travelled widely will be able to describe (generally speaking) French people, Germans, native Americans, indigenous Australians etc. I was expecting to be able to categorise Singaporeans after my trip. I’m still not able to do so because it’s such a cultural melting pot. English is the official language. Many people I worked with and met socially would say that their mother tongue was English. But, you never knew whether you were about to hear English, Mandarin, Malay or Tamil.I was surprised by how many western shops there were in Singapore. Starbucks, M&S, lots of clothing stores. But, in a lot of these places I found it really interesting to see how they had been ‘localised’ e.g. seaweed fries in McDonalds! In the city centre you could have been in any major western city.Singapore was pretty great. I would visit and do business there again. But, it is also a massive contradiction. Very western, but with Asian twists. I made an effort to learn about the city’s history and visited the National Museum. But, I still couldn’t tell you anything about the modern local Singaporeans, because so many people ‘seemed Chinese’ in their behaviour and language.I don’t think I would live in Singapore long-term though, because I found the 30 degrees celsius and constant humidity too much. Also, so many people live in high-rise buildings, which I would prefer not to do.
I was spanked for the first time? BY MY BROTHER'S FRIEND?? wtf?
You say you're too old for spanking. What about weed and drinking? Your brother's friend did cross the line; however I do think you somehow deserved it.
Can I take my family, including parents, to Singapore if I am working there on a work and/or immigration visa?
First, you can consult agency or government representative, which helped you to get your visa. Second, what type of working visa you have? If it is EP, so you can bring your family, in case your salary is not less than 5000 SGD (spouse and children) and 10 000 SGD (parents) http://www.one-visa.com/singapor... The same situation with S Pass. Mention also, that Work permit doesn't allow you to join with your family in Singapore.
My big brother spanked me!?
Well there is some things wrong with you and him. What was wrong with you : Your mom does not hate you. She only wants whats best for you. And you should not have done such an immature thing like scaring her. You should have just came and told him about it. What was wrong with him : You NEVER spank out of anger. I'm not the type of person to disagree with spanking but if its not done correctly then it can really screw up a kid, i mean, seriously eff them up. Your brother should not have his girlfriend over at your house while he's babysitting. He needs to spend more time with you so the relationship can grow. I don't know what kind of person you are and you might even be a good hearted person but honestly right now in my life i'm at the point where i can't even let go of things that happend to be 7 to 8 years ago, so right now in my life, yeah i'm pretty ****** right now and i'm freaking stressed from everything that's going on. When i'm like this my parents know and tend to just leave me be even if i get angry at them, i know its wrong to do but when a lot of things is going on and if to much goes on i feel like i'm literally have a panic attack and almost did have one. So if i was in your position while i'm stressed out like this i probably would have went in the kitchen and grabbed out a kitchen knife and put it to my throat or try to harm the girl. I know, it sounds crazy but i do crazy things when i'm stressed. Anyway, my advice to you is to say sorry to him and tell him about what she did also and why you did it. And you also need to explain to him that your 12 years old. Your becoming a young woman and most people stop spanking children when they turn 8, 9 or 10. But Before telling him the second part you have to act more mature, grow up and solve your problems a little better. And please, whatever you do, don't be like me and get so stressed out that you'd literally take a weapon and almost harm your family. Its also unhealthy and i'm trying my best to deal with it. Honestly he kind of did do the right thing then he kind of didn't. He did the right thing because you were acting stupid instead of coming to him and telling him. But the dumb thing was it sounded more like he done it out of anger. Plus he did it in front of his gf while she laughed at you, gf or not if i was him id even tell her to shut her mouth. Know what? Screw this, your an idiot because you can't read my answer properly.
