We woke early and having done our packing the previous night finished our takeaway (that's what they call takeout, I'm so worldly now) and caught a cab to the train station. An uneventful airport check in and lounge breakfast was followed up by what I wish I could I properly set up, but know no lead-in could do justice: we rode the Pikachu plane. This Scoot Airlines plane is not only painted with various Pokemon on its exterior, but plays a variation on the original Pokemon game theme song as you enter. Fight attendants wear lightly branded outfits, at first. By food service they come through the aisles wearing Pokemon hoodies. Make you look like a Pokemon hoodies. I was too in shock to take a picture. Google Snorlax hoodie.  In a year that I hope to be filled with experiencing cultures, cuisine, and natural beauty different from what I have ever seen before, I fear the Pikachu plane experience will mark among the most oft recalled.
