The Journey to West Timor!!!

So we left Hat Yai by bus and drive all the way through Malaysia from top to bottom! Luckily the bus we had booked was very comfortable (few cockroaches but you cant escape them in South East Asia...Ive learnt the hard way!)
We crossed the border to Singapore (OH MY GOD -Singapore is soooo clean and organised its amazing i cant wait to come back for the three days (universal studios!!)
Then we got a train to Singapore airport (even the budget terminal is amazing) and boarded a flight to
Jakarta Indonesia with Tiger Airways.Brand spanking new air plane it was very good!
We had to wait overnight at Jakarta airport...luckily there was a seating area with a Indomart (Indonesian equivalent of 7-11) otherwise that wait could have been horrific lol!
Then we boarded the Batavia flight to Kupang,West Timor! The plane was pretty old! and we had an engineer on the plane at one point flapping around! Doesn't make you feel the safest especially when you know that Batavia are not allowed to fly into Europe because they dont meet the standards!Charlie is already asleep before take off lol ....thanks bf!thanks a bunch! The take off is HORRIBLE...the engine is making a sound iv never heard before and Ive flown a lot!We swerve to the right...then the left....then the right...then the left and eventually turn right...i can see sky one side and ground the other!And i think I'm going to die on a crappy plane in Indonesia....GREAT! Landing was pretty much the same story! But we got to Timor safe and sound in the end!!! And it looks pretty cool!
