So, the day was finally here, the end of my five-week trip to Asia. Got up a bit earlier to have time for a shower, to eat breakfast, and adjust anything in my bags if needed. When I got down to the restaurant it was full, so they wrote down …

Just breakfast, TV shows in the room, packing, and some pool time until it was time to leave for tonight’s entertainment, the Skye Restaurant on the 56th floor of the Grand Indonesia East Mall. I didn’t even eat lunch. When I arrived at the mall, I first went looking for …
