Our friends made their way down to the airport to see us off and we really appreciate their effort. Our journey to Middle Earth started with a $100 penalty for overweight luggage (it's $25 per kg we exceeded by 6kg and Jetstar waived off 2kg) and gulping down our last fishball noodles (that cost $5 each and unfortunately they were not nice). We declared everything we've got and luckily none was confiscated yes including 4 cubes of instant noodles, two big bags of Julie biscuits, sweets, solid fuel and tons of other food. Phew!
