BLOGGING FROM ABU DHABI INTERNATIONAL AIPORT ONE MORE TIME



I am blogging now because I don't have anything else to do. I will have to be here for 5 hours before the next flight will take me home. I am not reading because it will make me sleepy and I will not sleep as there is the possibility of me getting overslept and missing the plane. It is a zoo right here, right now with people from places you have never heard of filling up all the empty spaces. Up until now, the information for my flight has not yet appeared on the electronic board so just keep my fingers crossed it will not be delayed or else I will miss my bus later as a consequence.





I am also hoping I could sleep well along the journey and could it be possible not to encounter a jet lag afterwards, I wonder, I read somewhere if travelers could maintain their sleep pattern according to the local time, thing will be alright. I have to attend a wedding on Saturday and will get back to school on Sunday afternoon for angklung practice and my tuition class at Asrama Felda in the evening. *sigh*



I think I need to get some photos taken. There is not a slightest sign for my "Spot the Error" entries from Abu Dhabi but I will still go hunting. Hopefully there will be people sleeping and drooling and I will risk my life for that. *evil grin*

BLOGGING FROM ABU DHABI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Sometimes there will be places that I would never have dreamed of going but here I am, in Istanbul, Turkey for my short Chinese New Year break. Departing from KLIA on Saturday night at 8:30 p.m., was on transit in Abu Dhabi and the flight was delayed for more than 2 hours, I finally reached the Ataturk International Airport at 8.30 a.m. on Sunday morning. My partner in crime, Mr. Mohd. Razib, who is currently working in Qatar, had reached Istanbul a day earlier and was waiting for me at the arrival hall, and that had saved me the trouble from trying to get my way to the hotel on my own.

We tried the Metro service which is connected to the airport. Not only it was convenient, but it was cheap as well. And once after I have dropped my luggage at the hotel room, we started our exploration around beautiful Istanbul.

Time is actually very limited to go and see around what Istanbul has to offer but I am already falling in love with it. Do expect more pictures and stories from Istanbul. See you later, alligator.
