SAS (Scandinavian Airlines) Business Class

Image
I took SAS business class from San Francisco to Copenhagen on the 28th of January, 2016, leaving San Francisco at 5.30 PM and arriving Copenhagen, Denmark at 1.45 PM.  I paid around 5K USD with a stopover in Copenhagen on the way to Zurich. It wasn't cheap.  Turkish airlines can go low as 3.5K. Flight details as follows: Flight SK936, Airbus A340-300 Feedback: Plane was quite old.  A bit too small for business class.  I've taken Turkish airlines before and seems like they have more space. The bed, you can't really lie flat. It still has some angle left.. not really 180 but more like 160-170 degrees angle. The media system - really old and the touch screen was frustrating to use.

Dolores Park Opening!

January 27, 2016 Towards the Park... lighted paper bags The new section (Kid's section) at Dolores Park Music/ Bands at Dolores The Jellyfish Lanterns From the website  http://sfist.com/2016/01/20/dolores_park_will_actually_finally.php Good news, everyone! The south side of  Dolores Park  has a new reopening date, and the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department wants to celebrate the occasion with a (very tame) party. On Wednesday, January 27, the city is holding a "light up the new Dolores Park" party, and they want you to be a part of it. "Bring your... glow-in-the-dark gear, light-up props, [and] LED accessories" the above video invite reads. The party is scheduled to run from a sensible 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., which seems odd for a glow-in-the-dark themed party, but the sun should set around 5:30 p.m. so we guess that gives park-goers an hour or so to enjoy their light-up props. Note, despite all this stuff about

Address:  4 Embarcadero Center #1, San Francisco, CA 94111 Menu:   http://www.viewmenu.com/crystal-jade-jiang-nan/menu?ref=google Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Feedback: If you like authentic Chinese food and a good Xiao Long Bao (Soup dumplings), then this is a good place for you.  Surprisingly, there seems to be no one here.  There's no crowd, not sure if it is because it is slightly pricy. Their special cocktail for SuperBowl Event :) Yang Zhou Fried Rice - YUMMY!! Sliced beef with mushroom and garlic - Beef was tender and good. Love their Xiao Long Baos Such a long hallway!!!

February 25, 2015 One of those many ski resorts in Austria is Kitzbuhel.  This is around 2 hours from Salzburg.  What I like about this place is actually the hotel with pool and spa at the top floor.  Amazingly beautiful!
