In case you need convincing that mileage running is crazy, then you should watch this month's “Getting the most of your frequent flyer miles” on Business Traveller by CNN where I document my recent run from London to Hawaii and back in a few days.
There's also an appearance from Ben Schlappig of One Mile at a Time fame.
somehow I was under impression you must be a white European but end up you are an Asian in Europe. What’s big surprise!
Such is multi-culturalism, though I still call myself European!
Ha, ha. you may be of Asian heritage Tim, but you can talk about the weather (on CNN) like a true Anglo Saxon ; – )
