Simferopol-Lvov-Medyka-Przemysl-Krakow


Prologue:
(L-R) Han Jing aka Ah Cheng, CBJ, Hipless, BitchyJing, JingoFAT formerly known as JingoFett, HamsupJing and more names I can’t recall (non-exhaustive list)
Alvin, me smiling like a jackass
Shin Lert aka Chiang Wei’s sister
Chiang Wei aka cwei, the navigator, CVX


Cwei rarely smiles for pictures, he certainly made an exception for this one.


We were actually a little late for this 0740 flight due to last minute repacking in the bus/marshut stop. Alas, we made it 1/2hour before takeoff.

camwhoring narcissists. jing - jovial


We flew wizzair (a polish/hungarian budget airline) the aircraft was a new airbus A320. As you have already noticed, Simferopol is in the middle of nowhere.


so we boarded, Cwei & Jingo who watched too many 'aircrash investigation' suggested we take the midcraft seats, by the wings. It is the most amored part of the plane because the fuel tanks are located there. Just in case the bloody thing crashes... ok the flight went smoothly.

I understand why Jing took a pic of the menu instead of the stewardesses. Budget airline = budget tired stewardesses.

Lvov, Ukraine



We walked trough the border of Ukraine-Poland, Medyka-Przemysl. There was a whopping queue + sweltering sun through the immigration/custom but we walked pass it. By this time we had sincere appreciation for our Malaysian passport (so don't use it as an ashtray/beer coaster etc.) which got us straight through.

Poland and Ukraine have a huge contrast in almost every damn thing. I was already impressed by the Polish immigration/custom officers once there. They were really kind/helpful/gracious/speaked english/had working brains. As for Ukraine's, just revert the description above to their opposite meanings.



KRAKOW

Galeria Krakowska, its just next to the glowny (train station) The 1st thing we did was to go to the foodcourt. We arrived earlier than planned. Thanks so a string of events which included bribery (don't be judgemental -its a Malaysia culture), ha. So, some time to kill before embarking to Gdansk with our pre-booked train tics.

This might look lame to you but eating KFC is an annual affair. so I din't eat those chickens but I bloody killed the meal.
