Journey to Sheffield...!

Journeys are made by the people you traveled with....!

So, here it goes, my very first post of my travel experiences. Let's start with the most exciting experience I had now - my summer studies in Sheffield, UK~! Since, it's the first time that I had to stay so far away from home for few months, I brought quite a lot personal items with me including some can foods!

My Luggage!

Well well... Let's talk about the trip to Sheffield...!

On 31st May 2013, the day we left home and went to UK. We booked our flight with Emirates (2013 World's Best Airline), and by that, it means that we will have to do a transit in Dubai as Emirates is based in Dubai. So, it's a 7 hours flight from KLIA to Dubai, with 4 hours transiting time, plus another 8 hours flight from Dubai to Manchester, and not forget about the one hour bus journey from Manchester airport to Sheffield... It's very tiring yet exciting as we were traveling in group.

It's always exciting to discover what flight am I flying with, and this time, I'm flying to Dubai with Emirate A380, the largest bird I ever fly with...! Too bad I can't find a good spot to capture the beauty of the great plane, but nevermind, I managed to capture a model of it... haha...

It's time to go and say goodbye to Malaysia for few months! (Opps.. am already in Malaysia now)

We enjoyed the in-flight entertainment and also the meal provided by Emirates, of course its services too! They did provide us some hot towel to clean and moisture our face, as you know it's very DRY up in the air. (Remember to bring along moisturizer and lip balm if you're flying for long hours)

It's selfie time!

It's an international flight so....... do not waste the opportunity to order the alcohol! So, I ask for a small bottle of white wine, it was not too bad. Lol...

After enjoying our dinner..... hmmm.... supper? Kind of confuse with the time since we're travel across the horizon...! Whatever, so after filling my little stomach, I put myself to sleep until I've finally arrived at Dubai International Airport in a trolley. What?!

Enjoy a bit while waiting for the next flight!

Upon reaching at Dubai after a long day, my body starts to dehydrate a bit and am not feeling comfortable with it that I wanna take a shower desperately! Guess what? There are bathrooms in the airport which allow you to take a shower, but of course you need to have your own towel. So I get my self a refreshing shower in the airport for the first time of my life!

Trying to take a quick rest before the next flight to Manchester.

Somehow, the flight from Dubai to Manchester is not A380 anymore but Boeing 777... Instead of getting the side seats, we're sitting in the middle row of 4, which is quite disappointing.

I must say this is the best in-flight breakfast that I ever had - omelet served with cheese. It's so tasty that I would like to have another few sets of it before leaving the plane. (I'm starved! Lol...) The Croissant served is very nice too that had another few more since it's "refillable"...! It's a very wonderful breakfast session in the flight!

After flying for like 15 hours, we're finally approaching our destination - Manchester International Airport. Great weather, clear sky, and sunny day! It looks very warm from the inside, but when I stepped outside the airport, I shivered and quickly put on my sweater.

Reaching United Kingdom!

Due to the long hour of flying, I'm quite exhausted, so I didn't really enjoy the journey from Manchester airport to Sheffield... Finally! I mean really... we've reached our Home for the next three month... Trigon!

Our student accommodation for the summer.

My Room!

So that's how my room looks like, a bed, a long study table, a wall rack... and yes! I brought my own blanket, it always follows me no matter where I go... haha.. Oh ya, there's bathroom in every room too! We got free cleaning services for our room and the kitchen every week!

So this is it... my long journey from Malaysia to United Kingdom!
