飛行機(ひこうき)安全(あんぜん)のビデオ

飛行機(ひこうき)安全(あんぜんーsafety)のビデオはおもしろいです。For some reason, I've always found airline safety instructions quite funny. As much as I hate listening to them when flying (and I fly a bit too much), I enjoy reciting them in both English and French (I'm still working on Spanish and will hopefully master them in Japanese one day). I especially like the one in Japanese because of the katakana they use when describing the safety features: シートベルト, フットレスト, さんそマスク.

ANA is one my favorite airlines. I frequently use them when traveling since Narita is a convenient transfer point for most destinations in Asia. Earlier this year, I was choosing my airline to commit myself for silver status. Because ANA was part of the Star Alliance, I ended up committed myself to United Airlines (they also have a hub at SFO and will be merging with EWR's Continental this year). I even rejected taking a non-stop flight on American Airlines and flew into Philadelphia and continued by train to New York just to earn enough miles for the Star Alliance Silver status. Pretty crazy, right?

  2. はい、わたしはアジアへいきました。台湾と中国と日本へいきました。I try to concentrate all my miles into one account since the free trips really come in handy!
