The plane from London To Peking was full , the plane from Beijing to CM wasnt full .

I split some food on the flight from London to Peking 

Do we really need to waste TV data space to explain this?

My luggage went from London to CM

Whist I do understand that one needs to explain things to Thais 

I really dont think that I should be explaining things ton Westerners

I was mistaken , it wasnt Cheers 6 % that is my choice of beer , I had a bad experience with that . Waiting outside of 7/11 at 10 30 AM  waiting for the beer shutters to come down 

10.59 AM get the 7/11 cashiers ready with their keys .

11 AM, the shutters open and grab myself a few cans of Cheers 6% 

Done half a can by 11 .01 , only to realise that they had sold me the 4% strawberry Cheers beer .
