THE LONG JOURNEY

The day finally arrived. It was 31st July 2003. The journey which would bring me life-time experience was about to begin. I left Singapore Changi Airport in the evening on a Air France airbus A340 to Bangkok for transit. And from Bangkok I flew to Paris De Gaulle Airport for another transit to Stockholm Arlanda Airport on a airbus A319. The flight was long and tiring and in total the flight time was 18 hours 45 minutes excluding transit time.

Me on Arlanda Express to Stockholm Central Station

Upon reaching Stockholm Arlanda Airport, I took Arlanda Express from Arlanda train station to Stockholm Central Station before taking X2000 from Stockholm Central Station to Linköping train station. The train ride took me about 2hours and 30 minutes.

 

Arriving in Linköping Station

After taking a taxi, I finally arrived at my university, Linköpings universitet , before the student exchange coordinator finally drove me to my accommodation. After about 24 hours, I finally arrived at my room to put down my heavy luggage. Before long, about two hours later, I was at a barbeque session, specially arranged for exchange students from all over the world. It was nice to mingle with other exchange students for we would be seeing each other for the next 6 months.
