Day 0

So here's the day come, I think I should write you more detailed prologue about my trip, just in case something bad happens later, didn't wish for that but just some prep.

Boarding call now while I'm writing this down, says that we're ready to board. My heart is going to burst thinking that I'm going to face the fredempolizei at Zurich. Wait, I think you should hear a bit about the begining of this story.

It started on Friday, when my mom called me and said our visa was wrong. Then I flew back to Jakarta to find the real case about it. There was a fatal missed of information with the people who applied the visa for us and my mothers' will. Miscommunication. We only got 5 days visa permit while on schengen state, such a waste, right? And actually we're scheduled flight home on march of 23th. It'll be 5days of overstays for us. And the punishment will be...I can't even imagine, dang.

We had tried to fix our visa, the embassy allows that, but the visa will be finished on 15th of march, which is already late for my mom conference. The embassy just gave us one option for that. Go. Fly. And find the immigration to ask their permission to add more 5 days. But the reality was hard, I was alone in this case. The embassy couldn't gives us any recommendation letter or something. They said the federal migration of Switzerland has their own regulation for that, it's 50:50. Yeah, perfect.

After stressful days to fixed things up, now I'm still on a plane. Still have no idea how this would end. All I can do is sit back and find my inner peace of this situation. My cousin who lives in Geneva helps me a lot even their friend in Zürich gave all effort to help me face the fredempolizei in Zürich. All I hope for now, may God shows the best way to get out of this mess.

End of bad discussion. Now, it still early in the morning on the plane, 1:30 local time I guess when I fly across India, right before I crossed Himalayas over the city name Lahore. I see magic up here, I just woke up and see the see of stars outside my blind. Yeah it gives me chills and peace. I wish I could share some photos of the stars. But I saw nothing on my camera screen. I believe there's still something that camera can't capture, it's magic.

Up for now, I'm waiting for a sunrise catch my plane from east behind. Hope you guys can see the magic that I see.

It's 5:30 in the morning local time 1 hour away before transit in Istanbul. I'm having breakfast with such a warm sunshine and happiness between the clouds.

Just 20 minutes before landing I enjoyed the Bosphorus channel between Asia and Europe mesmerizing architecture drenched in warm golden sunshine. One of the cities I've been longing for. And silhouette of blue mosque pictured the perfection of Istanbul so far.

Skipping the transit time, now I'm on the last plane to Zürich. And the stories may be continued on 'Day 1'. Can't wait to upload it soon.

Tons of kisses from Istanbul.
