Boringchap Turbocharged November 21, 2015 Share November 21, 2015 A short work trip to the land of Putin. Tiring but very fascinating. Made some video clips. Landed into -1 deg with some snow. Not cold by Moscow standards, but I'm from the tropics. Cloud cover was very dense and I couldn't see anything outside the window until the plane had almost touched down. Before the flights, some video clips from Changi Airport. This is the Kinectic Rain exhibit at Terminal 1. This has been around for some time but this is the first time I stared at it for a bit. This is the full size X-wing fighter exhibit at Changi Terminal 3. More to come, stay tuned. ↡ Advertisement 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boringchap Turbocharged November 22, 2015 Author Share November 22, 2015 Streets of Moscow were very wide, at least the streets near the Red Square. There is extensive underground walkways as you can see in this video. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boringchap Turbocharged November 23, 2015 Author Share November 23, 2015 ...ehhh you filmed so much, got KGB follow you arnot? Maybe, I don't know. I might have been followed. Stick out like a sore thumb over there. Glad to be back home. Upon landing in Moscow, this is the SQ Plane parked at the gate, in Star Alliance livery. Here was my flight experience to Moscow, on SQ 62. Privileged to be able to fly in a premium cabin. I spent quite a bit of time at the SilverKris Lounge, Terminal 3. Flying on board SQ 62. This is part 1 of the video - boarding, take-off, drinks service before meal. This is part 2 - supper, breakfast and landing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boringchap Turbocharged November 23, 2015 Author Share November 23, 2015 It was minus 2 degrees when we landed. The Russians told us that this wasn't cold at all. The guy who picked us up was wearing a shirt and a jacket. Some scenes of the car ride. Jams were quite bad. The Russian economy has come under stress in recent times. The country is also facing sanctions. The Rouble has collapsed and is now about half the value compared to what it was 2-3 years ago. So is the place functional? Well, so far the cars that I saw looked pretty new. The car I was in, was a relatively new Toyota Camry. One thing though, their cars were pretty dirty. No need to clean, no worries.

I think SQ has scaled back or slowed down on retrofitting the premium economy seats. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plane I flew on was pretty old and definitely not retrofitted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zxcvb Turbocharged November 24, 2015 Share November 24, 2015 (edited) Can explain how Russian society is like? I was told about a lot of negative reviews on Russia as a whole like corruption and crime. Your trip video should show something similar to this...
