I was happily trodding into the almost-deserted KLIA when I smelled something fishy. My flight was re-timed (a more civilized way of saying 'delayed' nowadays). Instead of the original departure time of 23:25, a small 00:30 appeared on the right hand corner of the flight. Great, I thought. Somebody is waiting for me at my predetermined time in Bordeaux and the delay would mess up every single thing.
As it turned out, MH20 was waiting for 30 passengers from Jakarta who was also delayed. After little hassles and lots of baby cries, boarding finally commenced at 00:20. Murphy's Law took effect soon after. By 00:45 we were still on the tarmac waiting for a couple who were too engrossed by KLIA shopping, and when they finally boarded a thunderstorm rumbles into KLIA. We sit waiting on the tarmac along with a few aircrafts waiting for the storm to harbor.

Gare d'Montparnasse - Taking the high-speed train to Bordeaux. Note yellow machines are self-service ticket booths
Leaving behind Paris in high speed
Interior of the TGV, French high speed rail. It looks nice, but it's not very comfortabe due to the flat headrests
Ticket from Paris to Bordeaux. A normal ticket costs anything between €20 to €80. With my Europass, (not doing any commercials, heh), it costs me a negligible €3.
Coming up next: Bordeaux
