The journey to Hungary
It was a long and tiring 20+ hour flight from Malaysia to Hungary. (Penang - KL - Amsterdam - Budapest).
One thing that I learned is if you want to see young, sexy and pretty air stewardess, you should take an Asian airline. The air stewardess on my plane was all fairly aged and I was taken aback a bit... you know lar, people seldom fly overseas mah.
There was one of the stewardess who has been working with the airline for 40 years and the flight I took would be her last flight. The pilot announced this over the intercom and all the passengers happily clapped their hands as a gesture of congratulatory. To set the record right, I'm not saying all this because I despise older woman. I was just surprised because I had the wrong perception. However I think the overall service of Asian airlines (at least the few which I've flown before) is much better.
The other thing I learned is to choose your seats carefully so that you do not end up on a seat like mine where every seat on that row has a box at the bottom right of the chair. This means you have less leg space and you will have to sit slightly senget a little bit, which would be very uncomfortable if you are in long flights.
The last thing I learned is to consider 5 times when bringing along a baby on long flights because the babies on my plane was bawling nonstop.
Here are some pictures taken at the Amsterdam airport. It is one veryyyyy crowded airport. I had to take nearly 1 hour just to get custom clearance. There was long queues for everything! Luckily my next flight was 5 hours apart. I only had about 1 hour of free time after doing all the necessary procedures.

Chocolate Cafe!This place looked so tempting with all the different ways to eat/drink chocolate that I had to stop and have breakfast here :D
Gigantic chocolate blocks. They have chocolates in different flavors too
Phantom wouldn't have mind having a mask like this
The counter
A huge selection of cakes, desserts, etc. Everyone looked so tempting!
No, my camera wasn't tilted!
My chocolate milk.

The stick in the middle is actually stuck to a big piece of chocolate. Basically the waitress pours a cup of hot milk and you get to choose what kind of chocolate you would like it to go with. You could also choose chocolate with wine.
My partially melted chocolate. Yummy!
Menu and choice of seasonings placed on the table
A very tastefully decorated place
I love their lamps
A cozy place for travellers to unwind
My first European breakfast
This is actually a smell test kit. You basically press the rubber pump and the smell from the glass bottles would come out from the tiny "chimney". Turn the cover of the silver plates to see the answer ;)
Delayed :(
Finally spotting the plane
