Went to Beijing back in 2000 and 2001. Actually quite liked it and the culture change, though was with my dad's work colleagues most of the times. Main part I remember was going to a restaurant and they brought out a duck with its head still on the plate. It was positioned staring at my 8 year old sister at the time.

This is true, the one time I got hungover on a plane I wanted to fucking die. Just ask for some water with every drink though and you probably won’t get hungover you’ll just be needing to piss a lot. Which I don’t mind because it gets me out of my seat and means my knees won’t be right up against the seat in front of me for a bit. So I tried to upload a photo from where I’ve just been (well 4 hours ago)... but the upload keeps failing. But this might be the best business trip I’ve ever been on because I’ve just been to the Great Wall. Never thought that would happen. Also it turns out the Chinese food in China is the best Chinese food I’ve ever had.

That’s exactly where we went! I recommend it

Price for 3 days in Barcelona over the Easter Weekend(that would have been ideal due to not having to blag a few days off work so soon, it would also be vs Real Sociedad):- Price if it was end of March(which would actually be a better game since it's the Barcelona derby vs Espanyol):- No brainer. I'll have to blag it off as I'm already blagging 3 days off in February and I only started on this job in January. Fuck them though, if you're a sub-contractor, you can take time off when you want within reason and I wouldn't need anymore time off until the last week of August when I go down south. It's more expensive at weekends compared to through the week for flights and decent hotels in the centre, but Easter weekend is just ridiculous. If you could blaze for the whole journey then it wouldn't actually be that bad as you would just chill out eating and watching films before sleeping. It certainly help a lot in curing the boredom and help you sleep.

I’ve never flown business class - only economy. The trick is you get fairly drunk before getting on, but not drunk enough to where they won’t let you board (although I didn’t know that was a thing until it happened to a friend), then get a few more drinks on the plane. I think there’s something about being drunk in high altitude that makes you more drunk. Then I’m able to sleep for at least 7 hours of a long haul flight, which makes it much more bearable.

Turkish Airlines for sure. Haven't even heard of the other two... Flew Turkish once, and my father used to use it regularly in the past. It's very good unless something changed dramatically in recent years.
