Day 23 - Balikpapan, here i come..

Okay – day of ACTION.! Eid'l Fitr is Coming, so i got my self (temporary) going back home to my lovely city : Balikpapan for a week if i got lucky.. :D
Got up at some lazy hour and rendered the podcast, got to the Internet cafe at 7.30am and uploaded photos for forum, Got to bookshop at 9am and bought new Lovely Notepaper, Got to Gift store at 2pm and bought some gift for my family back home, aannddd got to the airport at 3pm and bought my ticket to fly home..

Jumped on the first transjogja bus to the airport (5.45pm) and ready to CROSSED THE EQUATOR.!! So I’m going back to the northern hemisphere : the island of Borneo..

Exciting.!!

Got to the airport in good time, 6pm..

Then…. Waited, and waited, and WAITED to get my check-in-ticket and get my luggage labeled..

It was 6.30pm before I got to plane.. And I pushed in.. I bribed a guy called Panji who was in the middle of the queue (rather than the end) with a Coca-Cola and he let me in.. Thanks Panji.!!
queue in Adisucipto airport, Jogjakarta. ^^
It was the old Lion air trick of employing just two guys with a stamp to process 200 people.. Urgh.! Entertainingly enough though, there were actually a person that carries a lot of luggage..i could say that the airplane wouldn't be able to taking off with that kind of luggage..seems like tons for me.. :p
arrived in Sepinggan Airport, Balikpapan. ^^
So I’m now in Balikpapan.. my parents pick me up, and we went home..
