wide hips and coffin-like cabins | 9:51 AM
In the past, it was said that men would look for a mate with wide hips which was associated with a woman's fertility. Last weekend, I came across this mannequin at Central Mall in Bangkok. The addition of the very wide horns on the mannequin's head does make her more appealing, don't you think? 
On another matter, I was told to handcarry 6 paintings by the counter staff onboard my return Tiger Airways flight. I got a tad worried because I found out then that budget airlines like Tiger Airways do not give preferential treatment to fragile items. Would there be space on the aircraft to dock my paintings safely? What if the air stewardesses on the plane tell me to check them in instead because I was definitely carrying excess of the permitted 7kg for that 1 piece of handcarry? My friends assured me the staff onboard would have to handle that and I need not fret over my precious paintings. Well, I found out that my 6 paintings could fit into the very wide and deep overhead cabins! A steward shared that he had actually climbed into it (being very bored one day and to amuse his female colleagues) and lay down with his limbs all stretched out! Now we all know how much handcarry items we can actually bring up onto the plane!Labels: photo hunter, Thailand, travel
