Confirmation
Something curious happened. We got 2 signs about Air France. One happened 2 days ago, when we did a search on Air France service on Google. Turns out that Air France bought out airfrancesucks.com over a court case this year, hmmm...
Clincher sign was yesterday, it's long story but bear with me... We got up early at 830am (!!) to catch Corpse Bride (1030am) at a cinema next to our usual internet café. We got there at 10am, the cinema wasn't open so we thought of checking our emails but café was closed for maintenance. So, after we finished the show (was good, made us tear a bit), we got to the internet café about 12ish but all the computers in the front of the shop were occupied. So we went to use the PCs at the rear of the shop (it's a really big shop) instead. 15min later, we found a vacant PC in the front of the shop and promptly switched over coz we can't use the USB drive with the backroom PCs.
Less than 2 minutes later on the new PC, Jodie overheard one of the ladies next to her shouting 'No! No!' into her headset. This lady was REALLY upset and she kept shouting about being overcharged 2 or 3 times for her air ticket that was booked on the net... and guess what? She shouted that the tickets were from Air France!!
If that's not a sign, I don't know what is. Thank you God. We will be flying Malaysia Airlines.
Also learned new french word. We like bratwurst and were really happy to see a bratwurst-ish white-ish looking sausage at Monoprix supermarket. When we brought it back and started cooking it, Jo told me the texture was really strange. She then saw the package and asked me to check the dictionary for what 'boudin' meant. It means 'blood sausage'. We tried it and it was like blood cubes at yong tau foo stores. It was the slowest dinner we ever had... sighz, had to throw it out halfway, we not big fan of blood cubes.
As it turns out, Jo's sister will be coming over to visit us early November for about 11 days, woohoo!

Laughed real hard at your Boudin story : ) Maybe the dictionary should go with you whenever you go supermarket shopping?
The Foreign Legion has some weird song they sing about the blood sausage.
Anyway, glad you've settled your tix. When are you back?
[word verification:"viduo". What is that - like a video for two? = ) ]
I did not react to your last post because I have not tried air france. However, I have enjoyed the London Singapore trip on MAS. At our ages I do not think that the little stop over in K.L. is too much. Look forward to a meal with you guys again. :)
Oh No...and I am flying Air France!!! *pout*
That's not blood sausage. It's "boudin blanc," not "boudin noir." Boudin blanc is made from fat, bread and onions. It can be served with apples, like "boudin noir," and is dead easy. You just stick it in the oven, or fry it in a pan.
Incidentally, they call fat ugly girls "boudins."
If you want something like bratwurst, ask for "saucisses de Strasbourg." Or better still, buy some Johnsonville brats at the supermarket. The garlicky version, a bit like Kielbassa, is just "saucisse à l'ail."
Gawd... when will you learn to consult a master before attempting these disasters? I'm only an email away!
wah liao nardac. should have asked you but the texture was gross out man... you should have seen us trying to eat it man. absolute slowest dinner we had. gross gross gross.
and we cannot find Johnsonville brats at monoprix. sighzzz. will try tonight again.
I like boudin blanc but I prefer boudin noir. Excellent stuff. But maybe you shouldn't be eating that Monoprix stuff. Go to a good butcher and get your boudin there.
Before heading back, we should try and have dinner together. I'm going to be in the countryside all this weekend till Tuesday, but after?
