Assalamualaykum, im here for a long story about my latest journey to London and Paris. This post took me days to complete and i hope its complete.
I traveled for 10 days, 2 days flight, 4 days in London and 4 days in Paris.
For the preparation to go there, we bought a lot of can foods (sardine, kari ayam, rendang ayam, sambal ikan bilis), maggie, about 3kg of rice and can drinks. Also some candies such as Mars. We also bring along a small size rice cooker.
Essentials, about 5 pair of clothes and 3 pair of pajamas, and whatever you need (facial wash etc). I thought i have enough time to freshen up in the plane, boy, i was so wrong. I packed my contact lens, moisturiser, sunblock, and night serum in a transparent small beg. Here's the rules:
I borrowed my check in luggage from Balqis (shoutout!). Knowing that i will need to walk like a lot and it is summer, i bring along sport shoes and bought shades.
Let me just skip all the boring stuffs and get into the real one.
Our flight was on 17 of July 7pm, Etihad. We took bas ride direct to klia.
KLIA to Abu Dhabi INTL. 7 hours flight.
The horrifying shit! I CANT EFFING SLEEP. Why?
1. There were a group of arab boys about 4 people who occupied the sits near mine, they kept on running around, talk VERY F* LOUD, tersepak kaki or terkena bahu when they were running and walking around. omg...
2. As my sister decided to lay down, yeah people, SHE LIED DOWN ON THEIR SITS WHILE THEY WERE OUT PICKING OUT OTHER SHITS. I just got to sleep bit, then this baby boy who unfortunately sit near me too, CRY LIKE CRAZY. I guess because he was uncomfortable being at one place for a very long time. So his mom would walk around the plane but then as they sat down, he began to cry AGAIN. omg.... As he felt asleep, i was about to sleep too but we were arriving to the lights were on and yeah....
We transit at abu dhabi for a few hours. I decided to pray there because they do have the facilities. We prayed, suddenly this arab family came in. As my mum and sister was about to take a nap, i mean the long flight was sooo exhausting, the anak anak mak arab ni dok bising nak mampuih! They were shouting and ignoring other people who were actually trying to rest. Their voices echoes but they just dgaf.
The next flight to london, about 7 hours too. This time i managed to sleep a bit because im just too tired to care. We arrived about 11am UK time so its 7 hours late from malaysia.
Day 1
We bought oyster card ( lrt card like touchngo because you can use it for buses too) and top-up 5 pound at first. We took the train to our homestay because Uber refused to take us as we carried a lot of luggage. Imagine the stairs and the walking after 14 hours of flight. omg... I was very fortunate when a man actually helped me carry my luggage down the stairs once. We must stand on the right side if we are not in a rush. The left side is the lane for people who are in hurry so they will walk down the stairs or escalators. Even on the pathway.
Here's the map
All i remembered, we must go to Bank and took DLR to Shadwell.
We stayed at Shadwell. It is a muslim community so it was very easy to find halal food.
I'll write another 2 chapters. One how i live in london, another one is about in france.
