My First Trip 'Abroad' with KLM
Well, as Indonesian, by staying in Singapore, it's already considered abroad, ye? Hehehe. What I meant by 'abroad' is travelling further than South East Asia.
For a start, I'm actually writing this in Quality Hotel Marina, Vedbaek, Denmark. I am here for two days Train the Trainer Skills Course for Microsoft Dynamics. It is a free course, with fully paid travel expenses up to 2,000 USD by Microsoft, by invitation only. On a separate topic, I'll blog down how it all started in the first place.
After the two days I've planned to extend my stay in Europe for another week to visit Paris and Amsterdam. Why Paris? Well, it's arguably the most place people would love to visit when they go Europe, right? And why Amsterdam? Because the cheapest flight to Europe from Singapore, that I can find is by KLM 
So for now, I'll start with my first two days of the trip.
The flight with KLM was alright. If you didn't fancy so much leg room in the plane, then you should be ok. I took off around 22:45, SG time. Along the 13 hrs flight, they served dinner, supper, breakfast, and numerous beverages serving. They started with a small pack of smoked almond with a glass of drink (orange juice). Then came dinner, mie goreng, with a very nice prawn salad (I don't like prawn btw, and I still say it's nice), followed by supper, which you can choose either ice cream or instant noodle. Breakfast served in the morning, omelette with hashbrown and sausage served with salad and fruits. In the middle, the flight attendant always busy serving drinks to all the passengers (no wonder they're paid a lot)
I sat alone in window seat of the 3 3 3 seating airplane (777-300 I think), until someone sat at the aisle seat. We introduce each other, his name was Peter, and he's a Hollander, just taken a time off from his study to visit his sister in Singapore, and were on his way back to Holland.
The in-flight entertainment was great, espescially when I expected none of them. I watched Dennis P and an episode of The Simpsons. But most of the time, I tried to get some sleep, knowing the next day would be a long day ahead.
