Today my morning started as usual. I woke up at 8 AM and immediately got up to do my morning routine. At that time, I still wasn’t thinking about going to Kazan. However, after a few hours I started to think about a trip to Kazan. When I looked out of my window, the weather was ridiculously awesome—there wasn’t a single cloud in the sky, it was deep blue, and the sun was shining so brightly that it warmed my windowsill. Also it was my last vacation days. All of this helped me decide to go to Kazan.

Tomorrow my flight to Kazan will be on an Airbus A330-203, and my seat is 16K by the window. Today, at the last moment, I checked in and got this seat. If I understand correctly, for passengers who don’t buy a seat, the system randomly assigns middle seats first, and only after those are filled does it start assigning other seats.

Well, I'm in the business lounge and I'm very surprised because the manager told me I can stay here until my flight. Usually, the stay time is 4 hours, but for me it’s unlimited. When I asked the manager why I could stay so long, he answered, "Because I'm a good man, go and enjoy." It’s all a bit strange. I just hope that when I leave, they don’t ask me to pay an extra fee.

In Turkey, the weather is very good — 26 degrees, with a nice cool wind and a sunny sky. The weather is ridiculously comfortable for me, and I don’t want to leave the outside and go inside the airport. As for my plans, I only have one flight to my hometown, from IST to KZN. The flight is on September 3 at around 1 AM. Until then, I’ll be here.

Firstly, I want to say that I don’t like Dubai. If I compare it with Singapore, Singapore is more comfortable, and I would choose Singapore. Next, I will try to describe what I like and dislike. Also, this trip started very badly because while I was on the flight, I started to feel a little bit sick. It happened after the food. I had a headache and felt uncomfortable.

In Singapore, it’s already 8 PM. The weather is dry but cloudy. I’m already inside the airplane, waiting for boarding to finish. My seat number is 79J — it’s a middle seat. I’m so unhappy because I have to sit here for 8 hours. I don’t like sitting in the middle; I prefer sitting by the window. Well, okay, stop whining. I hope we arrive on time, approximately at 1 AM in Dubai.

I’m in the business lounge—you probably already know what that is. I only have two hours instead of four because my flight is very soon, so I can use just two hours. Well, in two hours I can eat, drink, and write one post for my blog. Maybe I can rest a little bit too.

About 30 minutes after leaving my hostel, I entered McDonald’s. I wanted to try McDonald’s in Singapore, and today I hadn’t had breakfast because my hotel only offered a light breakfast and I couldn’t enjoy it. At that moment, I had only about 30 minutes, and the breakfast area was crowded.

Today is September 1, and I spent one night in Singapore. The night was quiet and comfortable. However, the morning surprised me a little because I woke up at 9:30 AM and heard the rain. The rain ruined my plans. I wanted to walk around the city and see some more places, but unfortunately, I couldn’t do it.

Today I arrived in Singapore on time. My flight was a little uncomfortable, but overall everything was good. Why was it uncomfortable? Because during the flight our plane had some turbulence. It wasn’t very strong, but I felt it. And about those reviews on Reddit—I can say one thing: they were wrong, because I didn’t see anything true in what people wrote about Viet Air.

Today my morning started very early. I woke up at 4 AM, did my morning routine, and checked my belongings. After that, I left my room at 5:30 AM and called a taxi to the airport. Because it was so early in the morning, I could only take a taxi, and the price was 124,000 VND ($5). I arrived at the airport at approximately 6 AM and tried to go through customs control, but it was unsuccessful because the officer didn’t approve my online boarding pass. It was my first time experiencing this. So I went to the check-in area, checked in again, and got my real boarding pass.

Hey friends, today is August 30th, the last days of summer and the Republic of Tatarstan, my homeland, people are celebrating Republic Day. I also want to share about my summer. These months were very memorable for me because I visited several European and Asian countries. It was a really cool and useful experience. As for my plans, today I don’t have anything special because I already finished everything. I just need to pack my belongings, rest, and tomorrow early in the morning (at 5 AM) I’ll go to the airport.
