Flight from HCMC/ TIA (Tan Son Nhat International Airport) to KLIA2

-




Route: Tan Son Nhat International Airport to KLIA 2
Date: 2 July 2019
Mode: Plane ride
Duration:  16:20 – 19:20 (3 hours/ actual 16:50 – 19:50)
Fare: 64.19 USD
Difficulty: Nothing encountered, my body has been accustomed to hardship
Highlight: Smooth pass through immigration officers, travel from one country to another

I was able to reach Than So Nhat International Airport (TIA) at 13:20, earlier than expected. I checked in immediately and everything went smooth.

I then went next to the immigration counters and when I faced the officer, he asked what I did in Vietnam. I told him that I toured around HCMC and visited the floating market in Can Tho.He also asked if I have work in Indonesia and I affirmed. He followed up to ask why I needed to pass by Kuala Lumpur. I told him that KL is nearer to Pekanbaru where I am working. He seems to have been satisfied that he stamped the exit mark. I smiled at him giving my softest “Thank you” utterance.

I got time to observe the airport while waiting for boarding. The boarding gate of the airport is very near the immigration counters and security checkpoints. TIA is way much smaller than NAIA Terminals and KLIA 2. Nonetheless, I can feel the ambience of cleanliness, peace and calmness of people around. Staffs are visible everywhere and they seem to be approachable. But the problem is, they were not able to help me connect to the wifi. They have difficulty communicating in English.

I boarded the plane at 16:50 and departed at 17:14. The plane took off at 17:25. And reached KLIA2 at 19:50. I spent the night at the airport and enjoyed a cold and inconvenient sleep in one of the many corners of the terminal.

Ang Troso

Ang Troso 27 June 2007 Ako ay isang troso, mula sa kaitaasan ng bundok ng Sierra Madre at Cordillera, ako ay naglalakbay sa kahabaan ng Ilog Cagayan pababa hangang madaanan ko ang mga iba’t ibang probinsya ng Isabela, Apayao, Cagayan, at iba pang pareing binabagtas at binabaybay ng pinakamahabang ilog sa Pilipinas. Ang aking paglalakbay ay kakitaan ng magkakaibang bilis at bagal ng pag-usad dulot narin ng ibat ibang bilis ng agos na syang tumatangay sa akin pababa sa bukana ng ilog. Gusto ko mang madaliin ang paglakbay, hindi ko magawa sapagkat ang bilis ng aking pag usad ay nakaayon sa bilis ng tubig na syang kumakandong sa akin. May mga pagkakataon pa na ako ay nahihinto ng matagal dahil sa mga balakid na kahoy, dumi at maliliit na isla na syang humaharang sa pagagos ng tubig na tumatangay sa akin. Marubdob ang aking hangarin na makita ang karagatan. Ganun paman, marami rin akong masasayang karanasan sa aking paglakbay. Una na rito ang kagandahan ng ibat ibang lugar na aking...

Go Solo Adventures England

English breakfast The UK is an acronym of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland . Geographically, like the Philippines, it looks like an archipelago separated from the rest of mainland European countries. If the Philippines has the sobriquet, the Pearl of the Orient Seas , the UK seems to be a Pearl of the Occident Seas as it lies surrounded by waters and off the coast of European nations. It is also a nation that virtually influences many states on Earth because of its past commercial and colonial powers. It has left its hegemony over the nations that it commercially governed through the British East India Company during the time of colonization and over the states created by its former citizens. It is the origin of the English language which is widely learned by many people around the world today.  It is also known as England, but this is a misnomer because the UK includes other states and kingdoms such as Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
