There I went to same old Bremen again. Difference is, I went alone this time.
Got this 400ml coke from the airport in between my connecting flights. It costs me SGD5! The stick pretzel is what I got from a local supermarket. It costs me 39 cents euro and its a super duper huge packet.
The Town Musicians
My dinner place! As usual, lovely beer and ambience. So many nice places in Bremen for food. Love all German beers so far except Beck's.
Up-ed another level for my 职业病.
Up-ed yet another level for sporting the company advertisement which I would not have noticed at all otherwise.
Then, the most frustrating thing happened. I missed my flight. Was at the airport super early. But my flight was delayed by more than 2 hours due to bad weather. So before my plane could take off, I've missed my connecting flight from Munich to Singapore. They told me the best they could do is arrange for the flight at the same timing the next day.
What's most irritating is, knowing that I might have a chance of missing my connecting flight, I did ask the ticketing staff to change my flight to Frankfurt instead so that I can fly in to Singapore from there. Instead if changing, they reassured me that I will not miss the flight as once I touched down in Munich, someone will be there to bring me to the other plane directly.
Subsequently, my flight got delayed a few more times. I went up to the ticketing crew for change of route again but they told me the last flight to Frankfurt had taken off. They should have changed my route earlier or called for me knowing that I'm going to miss my flight.
I think I cried due to mixed emotions. The longing for home, the frustration, the thought of being alone in Munich for one whole day, etc etc.. And I am also going to miss the gathering with the Uni Yr 1 peeps.
Anyway, they checked me in to the Movenpick Hotel.
The pink hues brightened my spirits a little.
There was also a pleasant surprise: I can fly out the next day morning to Zurich and take an SQ flight back to Singapore. I was supposed to be on Luthansa. But nothing beats SQ. Bought a Longchamp bag (not the swimming bag) at Zurich airport too! At 50% off!! SHIOK!
Just a side note. German are quite unique in their language. They pronounce "w" as "v". So "wine" is "vine". and they pronounce "j" as "y". So someone by the name "Jens" you have to call them "Yens". I think this is vice versa because they call me "Jing Jing".
