In via Frankfurt , out via Berlin

When we left Berlin , wanted posters for the truck driver were plastered all over the place . Yet life still goes on you know . At least for the rest of the world . Such instances , when things happen , and the situation could turn in any minute into something unavoidable , come what may , we shall still travel and celebrate our chosen festivities and there is nothing anyone can do to stop the fun and the fanfare .

No point hiding or staying away just because of a family of roaches   .

Qatar Airways - KL / Doha / Frankfurt ( December 2016 )

Nobody who went to KLIA during the last December holidays is going to buy the idea that Malaysians are travelling less overseas or that the economy is ailing . Apart from the umrah crowd , everywhere you turned , was yet another Malaysian family dressed in winter wear just waiting to fly off for their winter holiday .

And their winter wear is not those chekai ones that make you look like a blast from Bratislava circa 1980 . These travellers were all stylo milo enough to tell me that they probably have more airmiles accumulated than I ever dare to dream of myself .

And once we arrived home , if you actually parked yourself outside popular dry cleaners , every customer that walked in carried at least 5 winter jackets with them .

I hardly ever travel during winter so this was really , truly an eye opener for me .
