      Sometimes i've found the notification button has changed without me disabling it! I kinda worked it out....1) if peeps just watch a subscribed video and don't like or comment, CZcams Algorithms thinks you're not interested in the video which over time the notification bell is automatically disabled t...2) i've also found if you subscribe to channels which numbers are more than the subscribers you have can cause disablement, And yes 3) the notification has been disabled or not turned on by the user 👌

    Good review. I really like the custom of the ground crew bowing and waving goodbye to the departing aircraft. I have only seen this in Japan and Taiwan. It just puts me in a good mood for my flight. Your meal looked great for a one hour hop but I always receive decent meals in Economy Class on flights between Taiwan and Hong Kong. It is the "golden route" after all.🤗. Jayden, your Q & A after your review is a great idea! Quite enjoyable. I hope that you and your family are well and are doing okay during these strange times. Take care. Looking forward to your upcoming reports. ♥️🙏🏽🌎

I'm so grateful to live in HK where this golden route begins (and ends)😝I got Taiwanese minced pork rice on CX on Taipei to HK in 2018 and it was amazing! Since then, the pork rice became one of my favourite dishes haha. My family is doing well in HK, life is pretty much back to normal now, just have to wear a mask wherever you go.

    On the CX economy v PE question (I've only done A359 and 773, not 333), I've noticed that PE and higher classes people try and sleep overnight, where economy seems to have people watching movies all night, even on long haul flights. 773 PE needs a refresh, but that probably won't happen atm.

    Thanks for the enjoyable clip, Jayden! I guess it was understandable there was no screen to sit in front of for such a short flight. I do hope your sister was able to oblige with providing entertainment.!
    I could see the inklings of a bit of travelofue style reportage with shots of beautiful dontown Kaohsiung at night, and the rather grand Sun Yat Sen memorial Hall in Taipei. I know you have said in the past that you would not do travelogues, and I tend to agree with your sentiment. Sticking with one mode or genre is a good thing. You get away with nail clippers in your little amenities bag? I have had similar things confiscated at some airports! You were lucky to get a short, easy and smooth check in for baggage drop having checked in online. Just a month after you travelled, I flew from Sydney with Cathay and got caight in a very long baggage drop queue of over an hour! I was incensed! A week later, the same thing happened leaving Narita, and the salt in the wound there was a long wait to go through immigration! Happy Travels, Jayden, and lets hope we can regrow our wings by the end of the year, though I don't like the looks of things at the moment ... :{
