taipei hours


just landed from our 14 hr flight from SF to taipei. we were greeted
by a life size Hello Kitty doll and free internet use for our 2 hour
layover.

the flight was surprisingly good. as in it wasn't as terrible as a 14
hr flight could be. one weird thing: we were in SF as the sun went
down around 5 last night. we took off in the dark at midnight from
SFO. 13.5 hrs later, we saw the first crack of dawn on the horizon
behind the plane... so we were in the dark for 20+ hours. our plane
was racing around the globe to keep hidden from the sun. or from
another perspective, we got up in the air and stood in place as the
earth rotated beneath us. that thought kept me entertained for a half
hour on the plane. also, i have slept for total of 5 hrs in the last
48 hours... so take it with a grain of salt.

Make sure to take meds before your return flight. "Why should we not enjoy the same comforts as a dog when we fly?"

Be wary of possible side effects: dizziness, sexual nightmares, and sleep crime.

Glad to hear you guys touched down safely in Asia. I'm already looking into possibly joining you in Cambodia in December. "Possibly" being the key word, we'll see...
