Did it again last month, second time to Tokyo in 6 months so money is a little tight now. Great time again meeting my friends over there, with the weather a little warmer this time too. And…… got engaged too! Yes I met my Japanese fiancée’s family and got their blessing as well. 😀
Hope she’ll be back here with me soon….will depend on the DIMIA now.
Love flying with Singapore Airlines, great service, food, and great inflight entertainment options too. However, I do need to do the trip 5 times to earn a free trip with them and their Krisflyer Frequent Flyer (FF) program. And my fiancée hates the time it takes, which is about 16 hours all up. Brisbane-to-Singapore is about 7 hours, and then its about 2-3 hours in transit at Changi, and then 6 hours to Tokyo.
She prefers the direct flight, a straight 8 hours from Brisbane to Tokyo. So maybe next time I will do that instead, I do have QANTAS FF membership too after all.
If we do Europe for the honeymoon I will make sure we fly SQ!

I’ve always regarded Japanese women as among the most beautiful in the world
Seeing your fiance only justifies my views, your a lucky man
Thanks Steve. Lucky indeed! 🙂

Nice ring, good size. Not ostentatious and awful looking like some of those big rocks. 🙂

I enjoy flying with the Japanese… the flights are a bit like Takashi’s Castle, in the nicest possible way of course.
Fun loving people who are not afraid to express themselves….
Looking forward to my JAL flights in November. 😎
