literally. em and i will be traveling in May this year to... susi (to snoop out) what's going on the other corners of the globe. as i am a wuss for light travels, i have pointed out the rules for this activity - one back pack only per head :P BUT only for outbound :) inbound - that is a different story considering i already have something in mind to bring back that cannot get away with the liquid restrictions at the airport, so we have to check it in (hello, Speculoos cookie butter!) OK. itinerary for two weeks follows: SIN-MLA-LAX-MCO-JFK-LHR-SIN tripping counter clockwise the globe and the Outbound packing list as follows: one back pack for each plus one sling bag for camera and video cam my pack would contain: 1) 3 tops + 1 worn 2) 1 cardigan + 1 jacket worn 3) 1 jeans + 1 leggings + 1 shorts 4) 1 pair pajamas 5) 1 sandals + 1 worn sneakers 6) underwear (4 pairs) + the worn ones! 7) socks and tights + worn ones! 8...
still very hazy in singapore. with the psi (pollutants standards index) raised up to 321 last night, which is considered hazardous, we could only wait and hope for the best that it goes down on the next reading. it did this morning but it was still high on the index at 198 psi by noon. the wearing of the mask became compulsory for all staff. seletar airport was closed down since morning, no arrivals and departures allowed due to low - zero visibility. the whole airport looked like a scene in one of the "end of the world" movies. after the lunch break, our HR issued memo for all employees to take the afternoon off due to the hazardous condition at work. everyone was relieved but not too happy because we still fear the levels will still rise up tonight. hope not. hazed!!
2nd Aug 2013 - Friday. after arriving in sydney international airport at 11am, we went down to board the airport train to the city. we also bought 7-day passes and paid almost AUD 50 each. the trip to the hostel is a mere 15min train ride. i was amazed at the double deck type trains in sydney and the train station is not bad at all compared to the dark and eerie new york subway. arrival in Sydney The nearest station to our backpacker hostel is Central, so we alighted and upon exit, the cool Australian breeze greeted us at around 15 degrees C. Bounce hotel is just a few blocks away, so getting there was not a huge problem. As soon we paid up and took our card keys, we went to the 2nd floor through the card authorized lift which allows you to go to your intended floor using your personal card for security purposes. The room we've booked was good for 6 persons, so we got two more roommates to expect. we settled down a bit then later headed out to have a late lunch...
