Kenang-kenangan buat bonda tercinta,Habibah@Zainon, Ayahanda Mohd Zain dan Mohd Noordin dan semua ahli keluarga Hj.Abdullah Bin Jaafar.

Disinilah, ninda kami menghabiskan waktu persaraannya sebelum pulang ke Perak pada penghujung tahun 1980an.

AN EVENING IN BERLIN

JUNE2014-BERLIN


It took about 17 hours flying time from Kuala Lumpur to Berlin via London Heathrow.
Had the first experience of taking A380 (new fleet from Airbus) to London Heathrow.
Followed by A320 of British Airways to Tegel Airport, Berlin.

It was like an unwelcomed trip for me to Germany for the first time when the requested driver from the hotel donot turn up at the airport in the middle of the night on Tue03Jun14. Fortunately, the taxi queueing was very good than my worst imagination. My only concern is the language barrier as i cannot speak German except one word Gesundheit. My taxi driver is a Turkish gentleman who can speak German, Turkish and Arabic.
With only little English words for him to understand , i told him to send me to Hotel Berlin.

Checked in around 12 midnight. The main thing was  to get a good sleep prior to the meeting next day.

Each passenger was served a chicken sandwich, fruit juice and an apple. Indeed a healthy lunch. The flight went smoothly for us to catch the next flight from Kuching to Kuala Lumpur.

Just like in Malaysia, Brunei do have night markets. One of the locations located nearby our hotel where we stayed and only 10-15 minutes walking. Rosidah invited us to go around the wet market.

One of the stalls that interest me was the burger stall.

They sold three types of Roti John ie Papa John, Mama John and Baby John.Not to forget the fruit stalls.
