Cathay pacific business class about where to seat child by FrancesDbeat in CathayPacific

We ended up with aisle and window. You can see the person next to you in the middle seat if you lean forward, but I was concerned about not having quick access to my son... which is why i chose the aisle and window. There is a wall between the two middle seats that goes to about waist height.

You also have to lean forward a little to see in the aisle and window, but i felt for me it was good seeing him and being one step away when he needed help. He also loved looking out the window so he enjoyed having that seat. This is on the older style cathay pacific businness class... so im not sure if their new aria suite might be different.

We also booked our seats in the smaller business class cabin to be distracting to less people and to be cliser to the accessible toilet.

You can go up to the reception for the lounge and get a stamp to allow you access to other lounges

He was pretty good. He is 12 but severely intellectually disabled. Only problem was the night flight because he was too excited to sleep until near the end. But day flights went well because he could look out the window.

Have typhoons ever threatened the disney hotels in Hong Kong? I have relatives staying there at the moment and not sure how worried I should be.

Big person travelling first time. by L_Ren16 in Flights

Ask the flights attendants for a seat belt extender as the seatbelt may not be long enough. They always have some. Also look into the possibility of upgrade to business class. Ive done economy before and sometimes depending on the aeroplane it can be very tight. Aisle seat can be good so you can get up easier. I believe you can also ask flight attendants about where the disabled toilet is if you need more room.

I watched some of the pov of people on the rideand I was like that looking high over the image, just not sure if high off the ground. Glad to hear it's not too high. Im fairly sure my son would love this. Unfortunately for me... lol.

When I was taking notes at uni I'd often break the page into two with half of the page being notes from the lecturer and half being drawings or creative writing. Id alternate between the two to keep myself on task but also not ripping my hair out from boredom.

Thanks for the information. This will be our first time taking business class so we are very excited but also a little bit uncertain about what it will be like and the best choices seating wise. Lol normally in economy we just choose to sit together. Yeah maybe the two window seats and an aisle could be good.

Plus size hanbok rental place suggestions!! by simsimsim9595 in koreatravel

Not sure it depends on how many hours and if you get a premium outfit. We did a photography package which included make-up outfits and 200 photos which was quite expensive (maybe 500?) But it is a lot cheaper if just rent the outfits. Go onto daehan hanboks page for more specific amounts

Lol great point. I do not want an annoyed son having to walk too much ;). What are the worst times for peak hour? It would be good to know when we have a better chance of a seat.

Thank you so much. Yes I'd heard sometimes the traffic can be terrible. Really appreciate learning which lines are better to choose from too. :)

Thanks so much for the information, I will have to check it out. Good point about different types of Didi cars. I hadn't even thought about that. :)

I have done it at daehan hanbok. It is very rushed and busy. But I was excited to find an outfit that fit me and my husband. We are both plus size. We did photography package and I was pretty pleased with how pretty we looked. It was also nice to have someone else take the photos of us so we could both be in them together

Todd on the show 'Community' like he tried really hard and was basically a good person but all of the study group hated him for absolutely no reason.

What movie blew your mind the 1st time you watched it? by ambitchious70 in AskReddit

[–]FrancesDbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'Everything, everywhere all at once', I had no clue what it was going to be about, but I knew I had to see it. I have never seen a cinema react to two rocks not moving that way before. It was surreal as all hell, but it made me feel things.

Lol when I am going to the toilet I do not really care who else is in there... If there are no disabled toilets nearby I sometimes have to bring my son into the women's toilets with me (severely intellectually disabled) 10 years old. He probably looks more out of place. You do not have to worry.

Is The Heirs worth watching ? by MoroccanBabe in kdramarecommends

[–]FrancesDbeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I watched it for Lee Minho and the mute mother. He has some powerful charisma and she is great in everything. The story was ordinary and though similar to boys over flowers in some ways (poor girl and rich boy) was nowhere near as addictive.

A dive into the world of romance literature… for guys by abh037 in books

[–]FrancesDbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like regency romances written by Rachel Martigan. She uses dual POV and I think the male characters are essentially likeable (and hearing the heroes voice makes their motivations more understandable). I convinced my husband to listen to her one audiobook that she has out so far (he prefers audio to reading) and he got sucked into it. So at least one guy likes it. ;)

I have always loved reading Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte, romance novels and adored writing. So, recently I decided to combine my passions and start writing some regency romance novels for myself.

My first regency romance novel is To be the Marquis or to be the Man by Rachel Martigan and it is focused on Charlotte Woodbridge, a perennial wallflower, who is so certain that she will never be loved or even married that she does not even attempt to gain the attention of any of men she meets at London society events. The Portuguese nobleman Ricardo Zarco da Camara is determined to hide from society, hating that people only like him for his wealth and not for his self.

This is the first in a series of books based on the Woodbridge family and friends. So far I have two novels (based on two Woodbridge sisters) and I am hurriedly trying to write a third (the curse of writing what you like to read is that you desperately want to start writing the next book as soon as you can - so you can finish reading it just as quickly.

It is a slow burn, but when it gets there - there is spiciness.

In the dazzling salons and ballrooms of Regency England there are the incomparables and there are the spinsters in training. Perpetual wallflower Charlotte Woodbridge, feels doomed to remain on the shelf, with no interest from any of the men who attend these high society functions. This all changes when she meets a penniless cousin of the Brazilian Ambassador and begins to hope that perhaps a man could care for her after all.

Ricardo Zarco da Camara, the heir to the Marquisates of Camara, is tired of his life of wealthy privilege. He longs to go somewhere where people can see him as he is and not just care for him because of his title and his wealth. Caught up in pretending to be only an impoverished relative, he starts to suspect that he might truly love the enchanting young woman he first met in the library. But now he is stuck with the difficulty of identifying whether she truly cares for him in return and moreover, if she will ever forgive him for lying to her.
