#Tag1: the 'Arrival'

The arrival already started very instructive! If you want to travel by plane, you should not rely on Deutsche Bahn to get to the airport... The train once again managed to not adjust their switches correctly. I have to say, though, that can sometimes be really difficult 😂

With one minute transfer time in Cologne Deutz, I rushed into the train with a burning lung (please note that I'm carrying everything I need to live for the next 3 months on my body ☝️ The rest of the journey to Dusseldorf Airport went smoothly, thankfully.

After a 3-hour flight with Turkish Airlines, I am now in Istanbul (local time: 23:42; hometown: 21:42). And learned something new again 😊 during winter time, Istanbul is 2 hours ahead.

Thank you Sabri for recommending this airline to me. I had two seats for myself and there was even hot food 😁 so the journey starts off very well. And for those who don't know which movie to watch next, I recommend Kung Fu Panda 3. Best in English, because the jokes are probably not as good in German 😂 I had to really hold myself together in the plane so I wouldn't burst out laughing all the time.

In two hours, I will continue to Bangkok. Look forward to Day 2. At least I'm really excited.
