As everybody knows that I have a new job that requires me traveling around the world for the next 2 years aimlessly. To some people, it may sounds like a high flying job. But I seriously doubt it! Not that I’m complaining but sometime it is hard to being away from your family and friends. It’s suck! Not mentioning being 6’1 tall and if you are not flying business class and above, it will always be a nightmare. Moreover, the night before, I will have to crack my head and deciding which are the cloths I have to bring, what are the essential stuffs I need to take, etc…To me, everything is important! It’s impossible to travel light!! I can’t leave my favourite shirts behind?! I have to bring my party shoes?! I have to take my jeans! And I have to bring all the business attires!
It is just so stressful. I have to pack, unpacked and re-packed. No matter how I packed, I will never satisfy.
My first destination is
Checking-in always is a problem for me. First, I couldn’t get an exit seat, and then there was no aisle seat available, so I got stuck in the middle. Sigh.
Then, as usual, I’m overweight! Sigh.
So I have re-packed again at the airport. It was so unglamorous. Luckily, my best friend came in last minute and sorted something out for me.
Throughout the 13 hours flight, I had zero conversation with my neighbors sitting next to me. I can also sense that both of them don’t like to make any conversations. So I just leave it as it was. Luckily, somehow, I managed to sleep through 6 hours so by the time I woke up, I only left with 3 more hours to reach
Once I reached
So it was my very first day in
At Bristol Train Station

At Bath Train Station
"Ah! The Signs!"
"Thank God!"

Welcome to the UK, most of the time the weather is ok here in the summer. It's just that since Rhianna's "Umbrella" got to number one it has been......well, raining for most of the time. Enjoy your stay, head to London, it is great, the nightlife rocks and everyone is cool.
Hey Charlie, I know all about being away from home and the pitfalls of frequent traveling. It's so tough packing for months away, and I'm always overweight when checking in luggage. But judging by your schedule, you'll be in and out of some pretty decent cities. I've been running around the Caribbean for the past 2 years where the airlines wreak havoc on my bags and my sanity. Current count: 3 delayed bags, 1 destroyed bag, 3 missed connections, and 1 unforgettable night sleeping in a terminal loungechair. Best of luck in the UK. Hope you get to enjoy all the good times I'm always hearing about on Radio1.
Thanks guys! I will try to enjoying my time here :)!
