So this morning I looked at the planning again, oha ERROR in the planning !!!!
What a shock! We're flying tonight, 20 minutes after midnight to be precise, and that's already the 29th. One day too many planned... Well, luckily we realised. Then first install a VPN for China, without it many sites on the Internet are not accessible, they are blocked by the „Great Firewall“. Not to be confused with the Great Wall, but we'll see that too. Activate the E-SIM and check in, of course. We booked Air China, which was actually quite easy, but check-in is something you have to experience: all airlines ask for the booking code and name and that's it. Not so with the Chinese, first you have to enter: Name/first name, booking number, e-ticket number, place of departure, flight number and place of arrival, if one entry is missing or not in the correct format (slash at the name) nothing works. Then you think, so it goes on, yes you think... Then you have to log in, with surname first name (of course without / and in a different order) and now also with passport number. In the meantime there is a timeout and it starts all over again. I'll spare you the rest and all the swearing. After more than an hour, the text message with the check-in confirmation arrived. Hopefully flying will be easier.

After so much excitement, we urgently need some refreshment, so we set off and cross the motorway over the imposing Saloma Bridge, behind which is a neighbourhood with many restaurants and that's where we have nasi lemak. The Malaysian breakfast with rice cooked in coconut milk, deep-fried anchovies, a spicy sauce, boiled egg and side dish, we opted for chicken, served with tea and condensed milk. A wonderful start to the day, which Sylvia began with a fresh mango juice.

Somehow we're still suffering from jet lag and tonight we have another night flight, so we need to get some rest and do a few more things.

It's time to eat something again... Sylvia loves laksa and curry laksa, Markus has beef redang, which is braised beef that is then pulled and mixed with a great sauce, served with nasi lemak because you don't get it like here otherwise.

On the way home we pass a huge bookshop, there was a book about weaving ribbons and a book with over 60 different laksa's.

It's already time and we set off for the airport, we take another grap for an hour's journey and pay an incredible CHF 20. There wasn't much going on, in just half an hour we were already at the gate.
