Olympic Equine Athletes enjoy travelling First-Class
www.hkjc.org.cn Almost 70 equine athletes in the Olympic Equestrian Events have landed in Hong Kong more than the previous 3 days, stepping off their flights and getting whisked by first-course transport to spacious and neat accommodations in Sha Tin. The cosmopolitan horses represent eighteen nations like Belgium, Finland, Mexico, Italy, Japan, Sweden, France, South Korea, Russia, Canada and Germany. Marie Johnson, stable supervisor for German legend and 4-time Olympic-gold medallist Ludger Beerbaum, explained the horses’ transportation, particularly the flight from Amsterdam, was the smoothest she had ever witnessed in more than 50 these kinds of trips.

They are just amazing.

Awesome!
Dear All,
I have some questions about psychology and dinning:
(1) What is the fun and enjoyment to dinning on aeroplane?
(2) Why do we feel that meals on aeroplanes are so interesting and special?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!!
