UNTOLD STORY ON MAY TO THE LAND LIKE NO OTHER...




In the middle of May 2010, I had my journey to Sri Lanka, usually after I do traveling I put all my experience in my blog. But that time I was so congested with my final thesis which I had to submit it on early June.

I start the journey from Italy, took the morning train from Verona heading to Milan and from Malpensa Airport my plane to Colombo, Sri Lanka was departed. I was a bit upset back then to know the fact that Sri Lanka is just three hours flight more to Jakarta. I miss my home a lot that time.

The reason why I go was for a conference. I submit one paper, in fact that was my first scientific paper and it got accepted,then the committee offer me a sponsorships for free registration fee. The next step I knew I also manage to get free accommodation from Indonesian Embassy for Sri Lanka. So I decided to go and present my paper there.

Its such an experience since Sri Lanka is my first Asian country I visit. I never been to any other Asian country beside Thailand and just for transit only...

So even though I had put most of my picture in my FB but somehow I want to give a remembrance for this. Because that was the first I mingle with other professional in health field. Such a nice feeling, not to mention that I meet new friends also.

And then after five days in Sri Lanka I coming back to Italy. I had stories about this ...here it this...

On the way back,

first : my plane was delay for one hour because the cargo door still open, it was in the process of take off when the captain realize there was something wrong...scarry..!

second : the shuttle bus from Malpensa airport to Central Station was so damn slow...I almost miss the last train from Milan to Verona, and if I did I have to stay one night in the Central Station to catch the next train in 5 A.M...I had 5 minutes left to run from the entrance gate to the platform which is located in the second floor and..also through stairs..so I become wonder women carrying luggage with half running, half climbing and half dead as well...

third : and when I reach Verona station at 12.30 A.M there was no taxi,many people waiting, a drunk man start yelling and made noisy voice ,lucky enough another passager willing to share taxi with me..

Well what a journey..isn't...never forget it....
