Super Budget Backpack

Tempolary Unemployed @ History museum in KL

Just to update my bloggers fellows, former colleagues and friends that I’m still alive. It’s been 11 days here on my budget road trip. The unemployed backpacker is now in an internet Cafe in Padang, a city in Indonesia, West Sumatra.

It’s 4.30 am now…..only a half hour to go before I leave this cafe to catch the first transport bus to airport at 5 am. Been using this cheap internet cafe since midnight with 3 reasons;

1. Super cheap at flat rate : 2,000 Indonesian rupiahs (9 bahts) per hour!!!

2. All budget rooms in the city are fully booked (plus it doesnt make so much sense to spend 50,000 IDR (150 Bht) for less than 5 hours!! (Did I tell you i’m travelling on SUPER cheap budget!! hahaha )

3. HIGH chance of oversleep and i cant afford to miss this flight after all the hassles I’ve been through……sniff sniff! (more details later once back in Thailand where there’s keyboard with visible Thai fonts!! ^^)
