The union representing rapid transit and rail workers in Metro Vancouver has notified its members that all transit may be shut down on Monday. That includes the SkyTrain, buses and SeaBus systems. Global News has obtained a copy of an internal memo from CUPE 7000, which states: “Our friends at CUPE 4500, transit supervisors at Coast Mountain Bus Company (CMBC), are getting ready to walk out Monday morning. They are meeting with a mediator (Sunday), but if they don’t get a fair deal, they will be withdrawing all services at 3:00 a.m. Monday morning for 48 hours. This will mean a complete shutdown of all bus and SeaBus services in the Lower Mainland for two days.” CUPE 7000 said CUPE 4500 has filed a complaint with the Labour Relations Board against TransLink, BC Rapid Transit Company, West Coast Express and Protrans for taking steps to reduce the impact on customers during the strike escalation.

USAAF 43-49219 / ZK-DAK masquerading as NZ3546, making a low(ish) pass over Dairy Flat.
msn 26480 was constructed as a C-47B-10-DK c. 1942 and was taken on charge by the USAAF as 43-49219 c. 1943.
By April 1959, it had been demobilised and sold to Philippines Airlines and given the c/r PI-C486. It flew with them until April 1970 when it was sold to Papuan Air Transport as VH-PNM. It was sold to Anssett Airlines of Papua New Guinea in July that year.
After bouncing around Queensland for a few years it was exported to Aotearoa with the c/r ZK-DAK in 1987.
Tumblr media
Seen in D-Day colours. 6/07/04. It wore these colours from 1986-c. 2006.
Tumblr media
In plain white livery. 1/12/06. By 2007 it was in RNZAF colours.
The real 3546 was briefly ZK-AWQ before becoming D6-CAG in the Comoros. It was sold to the RSAF becoming s/n 6863 and converted to a C-47TP by WonderAir c. 1980s(?). It became N81907 in 1998 and in 2001 became ZS-OJL. It was last seen in 2006 at Wonderboom National Aiport (PRY/FAWB) sans engines, wings and rudder.

You were unsure of why and what it was that made every train ride home so enjoyable. Every afternoon after school was over, you would return to the same train station like any other day, catching the train back home.
You would hold onto the straphanger, fingers curled tightly around the plastic band. Or sometime you would sit down by the row of seats on one side of the train, silently admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window panes. Most of the time, you would be leaning by the rails and staring at your phone screen like everyone else.
You didn't mind how crowded and claustrophobic it was, how the air was quite heated even if the air conditioner was blowing cold air into each section. Sweaty bodies and sweaty palms gripping onto the rails and each other.
And ocasionally, you would see him riding the same train as you. Well, by ocasionally, you meant everyday. But he would be in a different section, or lost between a sea of people. It wasn't hard to spot him, you could see him from miles away. The familiar shade of platinum blonde that was impossible to miss, the scarf and uniform combo that was way too recognizable. The only person you know who wear a scarf that cover half of his face.
Maybe he was the reason why every train you took was so great, he was calm and collected, his presence comforted you. You would steal glimpses of him from the other side, his figure quietly sitting there and simply doing nothing. Embarrassed, the rare instances of his deep violet eyes staring back at you.
Whenever there was a lot of people, he would just sit down beside you on the only vacant seat of the whole row. During late hours, catching the train home at dusk, he would be tired and sleepy. Gently falling asleep on your shoulder, you always were the one to wake him up at his station.
If you two were standing, the train turning direction would cause you to lean forward against Toge, almost came tumbling down together.
You never thought the train would be where you executed your confession. Thankful of the cramped situation you were stuck in. With you unnoticed, you slipped a letter full of your feelings inside his bag as you stood behind him.
Then on some days, he wouldn't be there entirely. You didn't see him at school, didn't see him at the station, and definitely didn't see him on the same train as you. It was like he vanished into the unknown, out of the blue, no where to be found.
Like usual, after school was over, you would walk alone on the overfamiliar busy street to the train station. Passing by the convenience store, from a close distance, you saw Toge walking out of the doors with a plastic bag.
You met his gaze, seeing his eyes slightly squinted and arched upward. He was smiling at you, though you couldn't see it behind the scarf around his neck. He turned his heels, before he could walk away and disappear again, you held him back.
"Have you read my letter?!" You popped the question. Could it be that you scared him away with your feelings? Could that be why he was absent from school? Because he didn't want to see your face?
Toge nodded. "So...what's your answer?" You asked, your weak little heart already pounding against your ribcage, which the beating rang to your ears.
He walked toward you, giving you the letter back. And he was gone by the second, his silhouette fading with the sun. Your hands fumbling and shaking to open the envelope, pulling out the piece of folded paper. All you saw was the long writing of yours, and a drawing of a tuna fish next to a heart. What cryptic message was this?! What did he meant to tell you?
You couldn't find him at the train station, sure that he must have been on the same train to his stop. But where was he? Might there was a change in his routine, he turned the corner or got on a different train. You decided to just leave everything there for now, there were people waiting for your return at home, you wouldn't want your dinner to go cold as well.
You sent Megumi the picture of your letter with his answer, the only person you know that could understand his unique way of speech. Aching for a response, then a notification popped across your home screen.
Megumi | He said he likes you too.
You exploded, into a huge emotional mess. Crying, screaming, rolling on the floor. Well, in happiness. Tears, but they were tears of pure joy. Your voice blasted across the phone lines as you expressed you emotions, Megumi telling you to keep it down every break you took mid-talk.
You started another school day, but waking up and knowing you would meet him after everything that went down, truly got you anxious. However, your schedule didn't quite let your love act on itself. You barely saw him walking the hallway, or enjoying lunch with his friends in the courtyard.
Bummed, of course, you walked to the train station with a sour mood. Just before you reached the stairs, someone tugged on your shirt and pulled you back. Confused and honestly annoyed, today wasn't really a good day for you. Your body softened up when you met his eyes, the pair of purple hue that charmed you.
"It's you! Um...hi." Awkward as ever, you began.
He didn't say a word, not that you could understand if he did anyway. Toge pointed to you, to him, then to the train.
"You...want us to ride the train together?" You asked, putting one and one with each other. He nodded, walking up each step of the stairs. The first time being able to understand what he said, even though it was plain obvious, it was comforting nonetheless.
As soon as you got on the train, all the weight on your shoulders was lifted. You felt absolute relaxation being on the train, specially when you were there with him. You both sat down by the row of half vacant seats, the view was where the sun was settling down.
It wasn't quiet, yet weirdly peaceful. The sound of conversations being held, the wheels rolling on the railway, his gentle breath hitting his scarf. His stop wouldn't be a long wait, only two station away from school. At least you would get to enjoy this precious moment, even if a time like this was limited.

I’m Icezyy from the Philippines who travels to Singapore.
Tumblr media
As I step out of the airplane, I notice that there are a lot of things that are different from the Philippines and Singapore, especially in the facilities of the airport. Singapore Changi Airport doesn't have many employees because they are high-tech; all you need to do is scan your passport and scan your face, and then you are allowed to pass immigration. There was no question and answer, unlike in the Philippines, where before you get out of immigration there are many more questions and you still need to fall in line to pass immigration.
Singapore Changi Airport is one of the largest airports in Asia. The airport is like a huge mall that will amaze you because of its beauty. These airports have a lot of tourist spots. You will never be bored, but you will be tired because of the activities you will experience.
First, the Jewel Changi Airport, where you can see the tallest indoor waterfalls called the HSBC Rain Vortex. Second, the Skytrain also passes through the HSBC Rain Vortex, which gives tourists a breathtaking view. Third, Shiseido Forest Valley has an overlook of the HSBC Rain Vortex and has walking trails that you can use to go up as high as you want without getting too close to the waterfalls. These are the famous spots in Singapore.
I hope you enjoy it and that it also inspires you to travel in this country.
