Far away from home. Archive for March, 2009. On March 28, 2009 by fonglh. There isn’t any more time to do detailed writeups with pictures for now, so text will have to do. We visited Poland from the 20th of March to the 23rd. This was also my first time going to Skavsta Airport. I’ll see much more of it in future for other flights. The shops were all about to close by the time we were done with dinner, so we went to Carrefour Express to stock up on food for our full day in Krakow the next day. Stuff ...

I missed the subway train I wanted to take at first, so I was left with 15 mins to wander around Universitetet. The station was deserted so early in the morning. Some of you may have heard or read about the artwork in Stockholm’s subway network. Every station is different. Some samples from Universitetet are shown below. Deserted station in the morning. Here’s what the security pad looks like. Just lik...

Far away from home. Posted in Daily life. On February 26, 2009 by fonglh. I’ll be going up to Abisko and Kiruna over the weekend so there won’t be any posts for some time. Before leaving it’s time to complain about POSB. Like most sg kids, I’ve had a POSB account for don’t know how many donkey years. Some time ago they were taken over by DBS, so it’s basically one and the same now. Sometimes I’m confused since the webpages point to each other. Anyway, I did try the PIN again the next day, pressing the nu...

Far away from home. Archive for April, 2009. Posted in Getting around. On April 23, 2009 by fonglh. Ryanair is the budget airline we’ve been using for most of our flights. Flights can really be ridiculously cheap. For example, I just spent 20 cents on an air ticket from Stockholm to Glasgow. Flying from Glasgow to London cost another 1 pound. I can even forgo my already booked Stockholm to London ticket. It’s a bit of a waste but then it’s only 10 sgd. There are advertisements on the doors of the luggage...

I’ll be going up to Abisko and Kiruna over the weekend so there won’t be any posts for some time. Before leaving it’s time to complain about POSB. As if having to pay a hefty charge because they don’t accept reverse charge calls wasn’t enough, the customer service officer who answered asked if he could use English. That kind of defeats the purpose of choosing the Chi...Anyway, I did...
