hey guys! im in Kursk city right now!
this is my 9th day in Kursk edy.
so basically everything is ok,
so far so good, just that im trying my best to suit myself to the weather.
its autumn right now,
the lowest temperature is 0 degree while the highest is 10 degree.
kinda hard to survive here for ppl like me xD
but im ok la, will be fine and get used to it.
if u get a cut here, it can't be cured in a short time.
i have a cut on my finger.
a small one, i think it was 5 days ago since i cut myself accidentally.
the wound is still open and the skin doesn't close up together.
so the healing process is kinda slow over here unlike in malaysia.
so still Malaysia is still the best.
i miss my place and the warm temperature there.
miss the food the most!!!!!!
kinda hard to find a restaurant o coffee shop with a reasonable price.
a simple meal is ranged around 100 rubles - 200 rubles, which is around RM10-RM20.
well,
this is the 1st day i got my internet access in my hostel, so i gonna post some photos that i have taken.
so let the photos speak then =)
i came to KLIA all alone.
waited for long hours for my agent and my coursemates to arrive.
surprisingly 3 of my best buddies came by to say bye bye to me.
i was shocked when i saw them coz they took all the troubles to come to the airport to send me off. great buddies right? thanks guys!
i appreciate u all very much! xD
then, i reached Dubai for my transit.
i didn't take many pictures of Dubai airport coz i was too tired to walk edy.
