D-Day!

Finally! As usual, the day is here!

Checked in at 10.30pm on the 27th cos our flight is 28th midnight.
Super excited. Cos it's my first time going on a tour group without my sis. Ya. Now she's got other ppl as her travel companion le. Alright, shall not dwell on it too much.

Took Turkish airline. Security at the airport is very obviously increased due to the wake of the Msia air. U get to see lots of police patrolling even if it's in the wee hrs.
OMG! It's a 12-hr journey... I can imagine myself getting restless up in the air... And my first time doing a transit. :)

To rewind a little. Was actually looking forward to the call of our tour leader. Praying hard it's Johnny, the guy who gave us a very amusing briefing. And tada! It's really him! LOL. I expected lots from him judging from his yrs of experiences and the promises tt he gave during the briefing.

Now, as for the luggage packing. Tedious. Seriously, I used to always pack last min for trips. But this time round cos AL unexpectedly started early, I decided to pack early too. And thank god for the early AL! I pack and repack and pack and repack. It's very bulky! Despite the fact tt I had only 2 sets if clothes! Of course, it's knitwear. I would not compromise on the knitwear given the fact of how I suffered in new zealand. And then, the big and bulky  winter wear. And luckily I bought the vacuum bag. Air all squeezed out and the size is just 1/4 of the original? Bravo! Went Diaso to buy the heat pad but unexpectedly I bought a few vacuum bag too. So 1 bag to 1 knit wear. It's just so convenient.

People, buy and use vaccum bag!!! Very handy! Its saves up lots of space in my luggage. I had always thought rolling clothes is the ultimate. But I am so wrong. Using vacuum bag is the highest! LOL.

Alright, probably shall stop here for now. More updates coming! ^^

An influx of histories. An influx of the WWII woes and destructions.
