The Batu Caves

Back from Malaysia

I returned Sunday from two weeks in Singapore and Malaysia. My round-trip was on the world’s longest commercial airline route: Singapore Airlines’ Non-stop flights between Newark and Singapore. Each 15,349-kilometer (9,593-mile) flight takes between 18 and 20 hours, depending upon weather conditions. The airline uses a four-engine Airbus 340-500 with 181 (rather than the standard 300) seats.

Finding online radio stations whose broadcasts don’t have overbearing advertising or fund-raising breaks has long been one of my quests. For many years, I’ve been daily listening to the superb ClassicFM, which is broadcast from London.

For those of you who don’t read Russian, here is the live audio link.
