Hanging at the Airport

03102009

Without any hassles i have arrived Frankfurt Airport at 6am, Germany time. i have 5 hours layover there and not much to do here. One new cool thing about the Frankfurt Airport is that staff and the security here riding a bicycle inside the terminal. This is really amazing, because beside those small cart that bringing the elder to the destination. There is many bicycle coming through, and making the terminal busy...

I have spot that like a camp out in the airport that has recliners that you can put your feet up. They were all full up. So I have been bouncing around the airport looking for somewhere comfortable to hang. For about 40 minutes, i was at a gate for Canada Airways, and they had a nice looking 747 parked.  I was trying find some place to  have a small breakfast with nice view for Airoplane Landing... and i decide McD... lol

 

This is the check in counter for transit, where it is juz we have arrived... Long queue.

While bouncing around, I took this picture in one of the Domestic Terminal. Can See many lines in the sky scatch by the flying plane.

One of the Cafe, but all full ler

Fully Occupied.

Mc.D~!

I need to ride a two Sectment Joint Bus in order to reach the plane

View form the bus...

Thats the Comuncation tower

The weather seems clear in Germany....it is so cold outside only 10*C

Then come across the Red Sand Desert... weather below got 50*C heat ar~!

then the tall mountain

Then enter the Clowdy Rain Frorest..

Following along with, I have spend all of the morning in Frankfurt... And then by noonish be on the next leg of the journey to be MelaBo! The fatigue is overwhelming, and i was seat much front this time with a giagantic Black female... just what have those senior have said.. from charming chinese, to blondy white then come to the Darkside muahahaha... the whole journey of 5 hours i din went for the washroom, because of her (black lady of course), not becouse im in-respect people, is just too disturban to her... her tight is so huge can squizzee to my seat.. (nightmare). i manage to watch two interesting movie, i can choose & pick from the monitor which it is just at behind every seats.

3hours passed, lady beside me start to feel uncomfortable.. keep on askin me: Arrive Abuja yet?  i have wondering that is it need to be transit in Abuja before reaching the Melabo...i am not sure because Abuja is nearer.. after an hour, pass over Abuja, the lady start to ask the stewardess "why dnt bring her to Abuja 1st"? happen every single stewardess went by... and one of the stewardess replied : Sorry Ma'am, im not the pilot, and i dnt own these aircraft, i don't know why dont go to Abuja first. Then 15min before landing the lady stand-up & go to that stewardess who replied, "&^%^%$&^%$(in african fall langauge), dnt talk to me like that , i know i am black ... you dnt talk to me like that". At 1st the steawardess lowed beside her and ask what going on... she telling her that she so unpolite to her, and telling she wont use this airline anymore... (the particular stewardess start to anger and have a small arguement with her.. with the last word "i make sure you wont be able to continue this flight) then the landing... i dnt know what happen next...

Malabo Airport or Saint Isabel Airport (SSG) near the capital has a good number of international flights, with no air-conditional upon arrival, no electronic scaning, still using manual checking .. open up all the language and some will request some good of your belogings, while passport checking still need to tumb-print with on spot face photo. took very long time.. while reach the outside full with people wanna carry your language (of course they want u to pay them to carry) unfortunedly, bad experience just i have arrive africa... our company only assigned 1 vehicle to take us... there was 9 of us... need to take two times.. no big problem.. i am 1 of the 4 to stay back to wait, during 20 min waiting we chit-chat a bit... who knows just we went into the vehicles two guys wearing like national service in malaysia together with one siting far in military uniform holding an AK47. speaking spainish(wa tia bo) with so unfriendly tone. try to pull one of us down from the car... untill our driver came out from the airport and explain, and translate with me.... telling that they are soldier, suspecting us laughing at them while waiting (they are 100m away from us we dnt even can see them clearly)... and wanna ask for money...indeed the driver pay few thousand (about 20-30 ringgit) to settle... SO BAAAAADDD.....

Then overnight in a Low star hotel, 1st i enter a room that many light bulb was dead for long... waited them to fixed it.. got TV set but i cant switch it on...none of the widows can be lock, at least the air-con still working.. and got hot water to bath... after having pizza for dinner in a "class" restaurant, we spent more than 2 hours there.. 1and half hour waiting.. (the white guys arrive later can have their food within 15 min, and we r still waiting) haha n then go back holding the laptop and sleep untill the next day. and proceed our journey our base to BATA~!!!

In Transit at Bangkok Airport

02 10 2009

In Transit at Bangkok Airport, What i feel of transit... i thought of need not have to leave the plane. Guess what? I was urge by the air-Stewardess: "Young Man Wake-up, you have get out from plane please" ou ..yea, i m taking Lufthansa, is a German's airplane, just say bye bye (bcoz I really no idea hw to speak german) although, i saw many chinese face work as lady n men stewardess. but what i can see from their name tag... totally german name n cant speak mandarin at all... =.='''

I decided to take the plunge and go for custom check, walk through a very long long way...

Which Located right below middle of the airport cover with glass wall aside..Feels like going into a long street of shopping…hehehe then … The only thing to mention was the view of the airport terminal is "GRAND", start from my 1st step enter into the airport, all the ground surface is stainless steel. The airport was so very clean. Each bay would have been an entire kilometer long (not exaggerating). The way to the custom line... there is only 1 escalator to bring everybody to upstair. incident happen... there was a very long queue, until no space at all at the end of the escalator....well that it is the escalator keeps moving...whole group of people crash into the front... So bad...

When comes to the Scaning; (all are female securities) a security looks more like a chinese: " Man~!, take off ur jackets, take off ur belt, put the bag here, empty ur pocket"

this is the 1st time, for me to have such strict of scanning.. for hand luggage .. as usual juz put it into, bring out everything in the pocket n put into a cabinet... Something new for me is hav to bring out the laptop from the bag … took off the iron headed belt … if got iron’s jewel took off as well..im wondering who hav buts with iron plated took off.. haha.. when everything seems to be fine for me… problem occur … My food bag gonna rescan.. after they pour out everything… she : "This cannot" … the small bother 200ml drinkin water given by the airplane. She ask me whereby to drink it all or juz throw away… indeed. What for keep for a empty bottle.. “dong” went into the dustbin…

After that, feels lik come into a Pudu bus station.. there was two long row of gates with number, if not mistaken A is on the laftside B is on the rightside, when come to a correct terminal.. walk down the starecase to Check-in Anf straight enter the waiting bay below….. surprisingly, there got provide free internet… but just wanna write sumthing it turn off… so sickening… applicable for only 15 min …

while on Board, a Thai lady sit beside me...is a quiet young thai lady,The whole journey… tis thai gurl.. sleeping style from head putting near my tide, then change to head put in front the table, then squizee into middle seam of the front seat.. haha very funny.(can see she is very unconfortable.) She refuse to eat food from plane & went only 1 time to the washroom. (why i want mention this, because she looks so much like a TVB hongkong star named 张可颐... for me)

I'm flying out, traveling light, heading to one of the most rural dorp.

I'm sorry that I haven't been writing lately, it is 8.30am 01 Oct 2009. A journal of my humble travels as I try to follow the path of my aunt, working in overseas.
At times like this, I think of the Chantal Kreviazuk - Leaving on a jet plane (Armageddon soundtrack, 1998)” hand phone rang~!
A mystery call from a rare friend who was sacrifice him self to the "Thai Moi" Firstly indeed I'm feel so impress, but I am just so please that he could be such nice, purposely call me just to say good bye.
I didn't think I would quite be able to meet him in KLIA, it is really coincident that we reach there almost the same time.
1345 and another one is 1415. I m the one reach KLIA earlier, I went to arrival gate to welcome Mr “Thai Xian” (upgraded from “Dak Han”).
And then having a small meal in KLIA Café, Wondering how people start to make stupid fool, jokes to our Dajie & Pei Shan.
I let De Xian to u my phone to call. Fortunately, They Start to puzzle and yet curious about how De Xian & I meet together.
hahaha, Dajie... Now You know how big naughty boys we are now.


After Scatter, I visited mid-valley which i have ordered to be there so that we can meet up in off office time.
I gave a talk to our dearest “Head of Thread” Pei shan to ask everybody show-up, but my time is short there will be rush to everybody of them.
In the end, only Pei Shan accompany me all the way to KLIA, & Xiao Xia wait us in Airport.
As i nearly leave behind, 930pm flight 815pm show up in airport. The gate nearly closed. i dint really have time to sat down with u guys, really sorry about it. And I have receive two warm gifts from both of you guys, thanks very much.
It is really useful for me.although we stay far beyond individually yet we r close like a brother n sister.
Gracias~! Team I9 bus we r the best~!
In addition to writing, i wont forget Ah Siing & Laymond shown up in Coffee Bean. My really Old-pal since secondary... friends Forever...See u guys again in future.


Departing from KLIA To Bangkok - Prepared to be stunned at the surrounding of a can food sardine, sit on my seat... hardly move. (economy seats) 1st thing what I forgotten is the time, which is Extreme and Time Capsule. Not long i slept soundly in the flight.
Food is served but i dint notice. Time is 1023pm 01Oct2009 is just passed only an hour.. I feel depressively sorrow, may be i never felt such quiet before...pull down the cabinet, put on a new T-Shirt stated ”xing jing ren ding"
Proceed my Adventure ....
