Just dont EVER expect to get anything - at all that is -that reminds you of ANY normal European airline in terms of working enviroment with Cathay Pacific Airways. If you wanna hang out and have something of a normal intelligent (sorry "normal" in this context it "western") social life at work - you have come to the wrong place, Mate. Its just not happenin here!
Even if you do end up going out with the "crew" in say Joburg og Frankfurt - its a Mickey Mouse thing - sure thing, its culture - never the less - it absolutly nothing to write home about - unless you fancy Mickey.
Who the f... wants to eat noodles with that local SO and a 21 years old Honkie anyways (speak about Mickey!)..
