Saturday, August 29, 2009 – From Taiwan to London

Today, I woke up at six o’clock. Ary and her father took me to the

airport, and my journey was officially started – all by myself.

These are the cute Hello Kitty decorations on my way to the boarding gate.


 

This lovely board showed the time in London. The time in Taiwan is faster

than London by 7 hours during the daylight saving time.

 

The flight

 

and the airplane

 

The meal on the plane.

 

I love this picture. Fly above the clouds. It is beautiful, isn't it?

 

All passengers leaving for London had to get off the plane in Bangkok

and board again.

This is the Thai decorative temple on my way to the boarding gate.

 

It is the boarding gate. The long flight began.

 

 

After about 12 hours...

Almost there! The Heathrow airport in London.
 

However, all the passengers had to wait on the plane for almost an hour

because there was no landing gate available for our plane. The plane moved

slowly and stopped in the airport, but we could not get off the plane.

Finally, I got off the plane and rushed to the customs with a lot of people. 

Although Taiwanese can travel to U.K. without a VISA, but the officials

still have to ask every passengers in detail. I prepared all the documents

required for any possible inquiries, so I was neither doubted nor questioned

at the U.K. customs. In a few minutes, the customs lady smiled and said to me:

WELCOME to U.K.

  

YES! the United Kingdom!
