The Landing Strip 1
I'm here. The other side of the world, I'm here.
DAY 1
12 hours flight and I land in Stockholm. Transit, then delayed for 2 hours at Arlanda Airport. Well, from my rather short stay in Sweden, this is my impression of it.
A lot of trees
A lot of lakes
A lot of rivers
More trees
Blond hair and blue eyes everywhere...
Leaving Stockholm, the flight was significantly emptier. Most of the blonds has disembarked, replaced by a few more mature - uncle - blonds. For this leg of the journey, the lazy flight attendants turned off the lights pretty soon into the journey and didn't reappear towards the end in order to serve dinner.
Anyway bout, 8 hours later, I landed at Newark Airport in New Jersey (close to New York). I could see the Manhattan skyline in a distance, with the Empire State Building evidently the tallest building in sight. Fedex had a little terminal - and quite a number of jets - at the airport, testament to the massive overnight delivery industry here.
It was very chilly. My first taste of cold weather. And for those wondering, it was definitely colder than Genting or Cameron. It was about 16 or 17 degrees Celsius.
After a little while of getting my bearings, I finally figured out the whole place. Newark International Airport (EWR) is actually made up of 3 Terminals, which consist of Domestic, International and the Continental hub. Between them, you have to take the Airtrain which connects them all together in addition to a few other platforms for car rental and other services.
Finally, at nearly 9pm, I check into one of the many airport hotels for the night. Wasn't exactly the Marriot, but good enough. Very clean bathrooms.
After watching reruns of Friends, I decided to call it a night at about 1030pm.
