They serve probably the best chocolate bars in their shortest hops. flight attendants are the gorgeous I´ve ever seem.

Well, the hole was caused by the incident. So let´s not think that the plane had a hole in the fuselage, before the incident. Lotus Air is reputed as the safest charter airline in Egypt. I am sure, that if the police hadn´t intervened it would have taken off back to Egypt. Safety concerns are good, but I think the news is a bit alarming. We don´t have hints yet, to make us suppose that this is another dangerous egyptian airline.

Nicking the best bits from other cultures and screwing them up?;)

Well there´s nothing bad in this. History is chain of cultural mixtures, and of course cookering is a part of it. Now american remixed food is playing an important role in other countries culinary tradictions.

America is new country an vital country, and gastronomy needs hundreds of years of evolution. For this reason is quite normal, that even the dishes considered american were taken by european settlers and mixed with other cultures foods to bring varieties. Hamburger, from russian Steak tartare…..ice creams from italian ones and even cheese cake from british and dutch versions. What´s more important, than the origen is the capacity of a country like the US to give their personal touch with their ideosincrasy. And with different ethnic influences like the mexicans, black people and so on. New Orleans food is the perfect example of mestique mixture (rice from Spain, spices from Africa and elegance from France). Texan food is deeply influenced by mexicans and the East Coast from European origen. California as a melting pot is a perfect place for cosmopolitan mixture.

Thats not a new airport, but a renovation of the existing Francisco Sa Carneiro airport, and no, the constructions in the airport will not be complet in time to Euro 2004, thats why some aircrafts will will parked, they will land in Porto airport and then moved to, Air Force bases.
The TGV new railway is still in tha paper, but there are some Government VIPs that want a connection betweem Francisca Sa Carneiro airport and TGV station, for now you can rent a Ferrari and drive from Porto to Galicia at high speed

:p

I thought the old terminal had been pulled down. I hope they keep the spectator area (despite the smoked glass fence). A Ferrari in Spanish motorways????. I would be taken my driving license inmediately…..speed control are getting tough around here. Anyway, it takes less than two hours get there in my old VW. I just asked that because in Galicia many people uses OPO airport and eager for the TGV link as soon as possible. Only in an hour the whole drive to Saa Carneiro. The Galician side of the TGV is quite advanced in terms of works.

Boa foto, Portugal. Comprimentos
