Saying goodbye at Changi Airport at 10.30pm..
Thanks to all who have come or wished to come!
Thanks to all our prayer warriors as well!
On the plane. AF0257
Enjoying the movies, games and food!
(The Queen, Little Miss Sunshine, Space Invasion!!)
& note the highlighted air steward. ha.. goodlooking.
He kept talking to us in Japanese, though we replied in English. :O)
Went to toilet and to get water at least 5 times. 13 hrs of flight is no joke.
The guy beside us did not even lift his butt from his seat for a single second.
At Paris, we were rushed down the plane and into a shuttle van for our transit.
The first moments we experienced the cold weather in Europe. SHUANG!
Hurried through the security checks in the Paris airport.
Barely had time to see the airport properly. ha.
I kept telling Meihua, i feel like Airpork. ha.. onto AF1212 for 1hr 10mins!
Saw a spectacular view of some snow mountains and the sunrise. Unbelievable.
Arrived at Linate airport at around 8.30 in the morning.
A small rundown airport. Proceeded to collect our luggage and...
My check-in luggage was delayed!
a more sweet-sounding word than LOST).
It landed on the next flight. By God's grace, we believed.
I did not feel too anxious and just left my details and address at the counter.
They promised to deliver it by the afternoon.
So, 2 of us had 3 handcarry and 1 check in luggage to drag to our apartment.
PHEW... A task more torturous than we can imagine.
Can't find where to buy the bus tickets.
Not sure where to take the bus 73 from.
No idea how to recognise where to alight (we only have a streetname)
Overshot the alighting busstop.
Can't locate the train station which is supposed to be near the busstop
Drag our luggage everywhere along the street to find the station.
Went down the underground station with our heavy luggage by steps.
Realised that there was an escalator when we reach the bottom of the steps
No idea where to buy the train tickets.
When alighting at our neighbourhood train station, i couldn't get out fast enough.
Had to take to the next station and take back again. (Only time we seperated! ha!)
Had trouble finding the street we live in.
Had more trouble find the apartment number along that street.
Finally HOME SWEET HOME.. body aching, totally exhausted and hungry.
Despite the tough journey, we were very pleased with our apartment!
Cosy, peaceful, pleasant.
Headed straight to a small supermarket to buy some water and groceries.
Made our first dinner here.. Chicken potato curry..
