26th May - LA to Munich

I got on the plane and was not looking forward to another long flight (11:20 mins). “Oh well, I can watch more movies then…Wait, where’s my mini-TV? Noooo…” I found out that there is no mini TVs in Lufthansa (German airline) aircrafts. I was a little bit disappointed but that explains why the airfare for Lufthansa is significantly less expensive than other flight companies.

Although I didn’t get to see many movies, I got to know this guy sitting next me. His name is Philippe, French and 30ish. He’s been working in LA at several movie industries at food sections. He told me he has worked with famous actors and actresses! Apparently, one of his favourite actors is Lucy Lu because she’s very nice in real world compared to other actors/actresses who are up themselves. He also said Eddie Murphy was a good guy too. Good to know ay.

Philippe also told me this funny thing. According to the research done in Europe, French people are the most talkative/loud passengers in aircrafts. I looked around the place and crazy! Saw three groups of people talking in French, blocking the aisles. It’s funny that I’ve never noticed that before. I can remember few French people talking loudly on Auckland – LA flight. It’s also ironic that Philippe is French. Meh.

I spent rest of the time reading a book given by Jeremy. Bridget Jones’ Diary. I did think that it was going to be a girlish story but in fact it was v.good book and I’m really enjoying it. Thanks Jeremy!
