26th Jan 2008 was the day of my last paper for the semester and 2 days later i’m off to Berlin with nothing planned out in details … i practically just pack my clothes, grabbed my flight ticket and got on the plane :p
So happens that my fren Kristof wanted to go on a trip but had no particular plan in mind, so i had him traveling with me. (despite his not too conventional name, he is a fellow Malaysia)…
Day 01
around 5am on 28th Jan, we took a taxi to the airport. The flight is bloody too early and i end up packing my stuff+do som last minute “research” the nite before. There is a bit of a fright moment at the airport when i forgot about my pouch (which had all my important document+money+cards inside) while collecting the scanned items, only to realise it when the custom officers asked for my documents. Luckily no big scene is made, i kept my cool and explained myself, then had the Russian custom officer ascorting me to locate my “forgotten” pouch :p
The 3 hour flight is a comfortable one (especially if i were to compare it with the later flights) and we arrived safely in Berlin, Germany. The weather is not bad as compared to Moscow. We took the S-Bahn and headed for EastSeven Hostel. Upon arriving, we bumped into Olivia and her friends. Apparently, they are leaving for UK on the same day. Anyway, Eastseven is a Orangey hostel which give a feeling of being at home.
