04//07//07 Today is 4th of July. Independent Day in US...this day always remind me a movie called ID4...one thing that I don't understand what it has to do with July 4th?

Also July 4th is Norway queen's birthday. I realise that from people hang Norwegian flag outside their house and store.

Yup....I just arrive here Ålesund, Norway yesterday. After long trip from BKK, Thailand. I took Turkish Airline. It was a lot lot better than Pakistan Airline. I transit via Istanbul, glad i didn't go with Pakistan Airline anymore. In Islamabad, Pakistan's capital city, they have no duty free (as far as I can see from their small international airport), but in Istanbul, they have OK duty free which full of chocolate, cigarette, alcohol, perfume, make up same as other airport should have :). So I bought 1 liter of Absolute Vodka (cytron) my favorite one. It cost 12,50 EURO there, 2 big bags of M&M, 1 big bar of chocolate - Lindt.

10.15 hours from BKK - Istanbul, 2.45 hours wait in Istanbul airport, 3.45 hours from Istanbul - Oslo, 1.45 hours in Oslo airport and 1 hour from Oslo - Ålesund airport. All together was 19.30 hours travel :( tired and smelly....haha yeah...I could felt myself smelly this time...I was sweat...I was very warm all the way from BKK to Ålesund.

On the flight BKK-Istanbul, they serve 2 meals but both are not good at all. (food on plane can't be more delicious?) I got a seat next to a single dad with his son. His son has some trouble...he can't breath well and get convulse and scream whenever he awake. I feel sorry for both of them...the father looks tired. He gave all his care for the son. So I can't sleep well...good that they have wine on the plane...I drank 2 of them...hahaha that's help a lot. Seat on plane, bus are never comfortable....don't understand why...even it has the same design as on personal car (but I can sleep all the way if I sat on personal car)

In Istanbul, the guy from the same plane I took from BKK. He walked after me from the plane, I saw he looked at me like wanna talk...hehehe don't know if I just thought on my own side. Yeah....but after the plane landed, at the gate he asked where am i going? then he found that I have 2 hours between next flight so he asked if I want to have some coffee. Well....better to sit alone in the boring terminal which full of middle east guys. I had hot chocolate (since I can't drink coffee). He speak very fast and have a little English accent which i can't understand 100% what he said....I tought he speak fast maybe because he tought I have good Englist skill. But that't not ture at all...(he said I have almost like amarican accent, where did I learn my English...hahaha)

Next flight Istanbul - Oslo...3.45 hours on a small airplane....6 seats in 1 row and I don't understand why they book all the passenger sit in the middle of the plane while the back seat are empty!!!....(I saw it when I walked to the restroom, no one there so many passenger took those seat as their bed while i have to sit in the middle of 2 strangers!!.

After landed...I was in hurry since I need to pass the immigration then pick my luggage then go to domistic flight to Ålesund. I get my boarding pass and about to load my lauggage again, the lady who loaded my laggage asked if I have any liquid more than 100 ml. to carry on the plane...I said yes, but I just bought it from the duty free in Istanbul. She said but it need to be sealed or else I need to put it in the laugage....shit!!! my laugage was full and I afraid it might brake. I don't want to have vodka smell even it taste good!!! But I need to put it in laugage or throw it away (that's I never have in my mind). On the plane I had a seat next to an emergency door....as I remember the one who sit next to the emergency door must understanding how to deal with the emergency case (if we have one) but what if i don't understand English and what if I can't control it since I can't even read the instructure they provide on the plane (all that idea came up since the group service put me on that seat....how she can be sure that I able to do all those things)....just curious. The air-hostess not allow me to put my backpack next to the emergency door, I can't even put my small bag or jacket on my lap. I need to put jacket on and put small bag in the magazine place (or else I need to put it in the drawer above my head :( very strictly. This flight I got a seat next to old lady who can speak English!!....she told me about the nice view Ålesund has...but I was too tired to keep my eyes open and see only foggy sky...I slept all the way from Oslo - Ålesund hehehe.

Landed safely, Steffen waited me at the airport :D finally we can be together again.
