PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
I wake up in the morning around 9:00, just to drive to my Soekarno-Hatta Airport after 4 hours of sleep. So after all the road traffic jams in Jakarta, it took me about 3 hours to about 30 miles to take me to the airport, I came early because I had to get my parents to the airport as well, they are also planning to Aberdeen but with a variety of aircraft that day, they took the afternoon flight.
There is a slight problem before I checked in, it seems I've made a mistake when I booked the ticket, I intend to depart from Jakarta at 06:45, but I reserve tickets earliest in the day, 06:15! My bad, after I realized that, I have to find a "go-show" tickets as soon as possible, because the clock is ticking. I want to call it lucky, because I had relatives who worked as a pilot in the airways company in Indonesia, so that my ticket had expired, and almost impossible to get the go-show tickets to Aberdeen on a fast clock, but somehow the airways companies can get me to Aberdeen, even the cost of approximately USD 650 thousand. So I managed to fly to the island of Kalimantan for the first time, finally!
Ok I have a ticket, baggage check ok, but still slightly delayed the work's going with me, haha! Then I immediately went to the coffee shop, I definitely need a strong caffeine. Two or three cups of coffee may be enough. I also ate fried rice, breakfast in the morning though .. By the way the airport tower tempt me to take some pictures, but the angle is limited, hufft ..
The plane is delayed 45 minutes, tell me about it .. I do not know how but in Indonesia, if you make some mistake it was your fault, but if the agency or something like it made a mistake you have to accept whatever is, unbelievable!
10:00 or 11:00 local time, because I have time-traffic areas, Balikpapan is hours ahead of Jakarta, I landed at the airport Sepinggan. This is the first time I put my foot in Borneo, then all of a sudden I felt a little different somehow, maybe because Jakarta is too polluted, but there are so many oil companies here in Aberdeen is also damaging the air, but it still feels different Balikpapan, even from the way we can enjoy 'breathin
Late that night, I stayed on the beach nearby hotel, I could see the fire tower pertamina of my room, so I started taking some pictures ..
