I never knew sitting in an airplane can be so tiring. Peharps it is because i do not have any experience sitting in flights as long as 13 hours. Sianz. I sit until my butt hurts. Before the trip, i thought to myself, ” Wah i hope sitting beside me is a Japanese Girl going to the same Univ for exchange, then i can make friends already!” haha. My wish came true. Really, there was a Jap gal sitting beside me! But she is the Shy shy type, the only converse that we have are,” excuse me, i need to go to the toilet,” and “sorry (because of the limited area of movement there)” haha. I dont think she is going to any university, just transiting there. (she not very chio also)

Okie , talk so long, my point of the story is, don’t sit in an economy class (even if it is SIA) if you are fat. Damn uncomfortable! Sit at least in business class (but its damn exp). If need to, my next trip to anywhere that is long haul, i will take business class. (if i am rich)

I am going to set up a budget airline only with business class seats. Haha.

Once I reached Schipol (Amsterdam) airport, I was amazed by a couple of things.

(1) I see smoking points in air-con areas.

(2) People bringing dogs into the airport.

So next time u see these things, don’t be like me mountain tortoise Okie? So after reaching, I went to the train station underneath the airport. Had some difficulties buying the tickets because when you buy, they tell you in English, the tickets they issued were all in Dutch, so I don’t understand a single thing of what I bought. Later I show you all photos.

The trains quite cool la, but quite dirty. Anyway, my trip to
Maastricht requires me to take change trains. So I have to take one train to Utrecht Central and then take from there to Maastricht. The first part of the train was no problem because it was damn straightforward. The second part when I change trains was a headache. I was nearly fined 62 euros for sitting in a first class area (which I have no idea really) When the conductor came, he asked me to show him the ticket. I did, and show him the one that I did not even know what it was. Then he said I bought a 2^nd class ticket and should not be in the first class. Then he said he will send me the bill. Actually I can’t be bothered because I was too tired to explain. Then I ask him how should I pay? After a long conversation which involved using the words like, “No excuses!” I said “can I pay by VISA?” he laughed and said,” Okie we have an agreement here, you sit back and relax.” And he walked away without asking me to pay. Damn heng!

EVERYTHING IN EUROs IS EXP!

I bought a cup of cappuccino at 1.70 euros, and a snicker bar at 1 euro, 1 pepsi @ 1 euro and I had a 12 euro dinner. Damn. Today I think I spent SGD 100+. Sianz
