I adore Chek Lap Kok

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author iljc82 - Chek Lap Kok is a wonderful airport and I have used it several times to transit or to (dis)embark. Architecturally designed by Norman Foster and Co., the terminal building is inspiring and welcoming. All in all, a visually stunning and efficient airport...

Better than expected

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author iljc82 - I flew SIN-HKG-SIN on United Airlines for the first time just two weeks ago and was in for a pleasant surprise. Having not flown internationally on an American airline before, I was preparing to experience a drastically minimalistic flight compared to...

Beautiful little town

Thu, 21 Jul 2005 03:59:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author iljc82 - I was blessed to have the opportunity to visit Bergen for a couple of days. This town is really pretty especially in summer when temperatures hover around a comfortable 20C (66F). Furthermore, the sun doesn't really set in late June and it's fun to watch...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author iljc82 - I just flew Malaysia from SIN (Singapore) to KIX (Osaka) via the home airport KUL (Kuala Lumpur) last week, and will try as best as I can to give a fresh, objective epinion. It's pretty interesting now considering Malaysia has just recently bagged the...

Everything is larger than life

Sat, 9 Apr 2005 05:53:29 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author iljc82 - I went to New York City three times last year, and I guess that puts me in a good position to rate this City as a destination. True, it is indeed the Capital of the World, and very much the first City everyone would like to visit if they have the means...

Expedia Flight Reservations: A great start to a more connected future in travel

Fri, 31 Jan 2003 08:32:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iljc82 - Albeit the extensive advertisement campaign undertaken by Expedia (You can virtually see its ad anywhere online!) and its much hyped about great deals for the budget conscious traveler, I would refrain from rating it excellent, generally.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iljc82 - Before I start rambling about this must-go attraction that every tourist to Singapore is bound to step foot on, let me clarify that I am a native of Singapore (if Singapore produces natives, that is).

The island was one touted as the "most...

eBay: Stupendous! Excellent in every aspect.

Sat, 25 Jan 2003 12:31:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author iljc82 - I thought it was not easy to access the prices and delivery times since eBay is not directly involved in the selling and buying - in less obtuse words, it really depends on who and where the dealer is. Generally, I rate the prices as high because people...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iljc82 - When I first stepped out of Vancouver International Airport (YVR), the pleasant weather and slow-moving lifestyle grabbed my immediate attention. It's as if everything is put on a slow jog on the Video machine.

Definitely will fly with them again

Sat, 25 Jan 2003 03:01:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author iljc82 - I decided to fly Cathay Pacific (CX) to Vancouver from Singapore because of a local promotion. The round trip ticket set me back by S$1199 (which works out to US$695) which is quite economical considering they offered me a 2 night stay, FREE, in Hong...
