And it's hot and kind of musty here. =p

Bonjour!

By the time you read this, I would have landed in Taiwan, gotten internet access to upload this post, and perhaps have gotten some sleep. It is currently 11:07 am and I am actually writing this post on the airplane since there’s nothing much happening and of course most of you guys know that I can’t sleep on airplanes, cars, anywhere that’s not my bed. Plus, it’s super loud here from the engine and who really can sleep in a jerking airplane.

I boarded my plane at around one Tuesday morning. Luckily, I got placed in the middle row by the aisle. YES! I do have easy access to the bathroom. I guess new planes are a whole lot different from the old ones since you get your own tv screen, remote (to control games, which movies you’d like to see), a notification in the front on the wall to tell you if the bathroom in your section is vacant or occupied.

Of course most of you guys know that airplane food is no good. However, since I haven’t had airplane food for nine years, and I was super hungry, I decided to devour what was in front of me. Well, I always get a bit famished if I stay up late and since they served food at round 2-3 in the morning, I decided to go for it. So, midnight snack turned out to be chicken, rice, green beans, with carrots (this is for Frankie ;)). I think on my flight back, I’ll have to try to BRING my own food because after eating that stuff (I didn’t finish all of it since it was kind of gross), of course my stomach would make the rumbly tumbly noise and totally screw over my ability to sit still (Birdie I know what you’re thinking and stop laughing!).

It’s interesting because all the flight attendants are all wearing a facemask. =D OH, there and tons of passengers wearing that same kind of mask too. I think I would be kind of suffocating wearing those things for what? 13 hours? Not including wait time at the airport!

I think I have a slight case of motion sickness. Ever since I got on the airplane, I’ve been having urges to either vomit, use the bathroom, or have in and out headaches.
  Just think, I’ll have to endure this again for another 11 hours when I fly back. I know 28 days is so far and I should just think about enjoying my month in asia but oh no… I think I had enough airplanes for a couple years.

I already dearly miss home and miss being on land. I don’t know if I should be saying this but I feel like I’m getting sick! Well.. other than the fact that I’m feeling like crap from the lack of sleep, dry eyes, and grosses of not being able to wash my face, the ac on this plane is freezing and I have a thin blanket around me to what? Keep me warm? Well, to be honest, it sure isn’t doing a heck of a lot.

If you guys saw what I looked like right now, you’d laugh. I believe my hair is sticking up from all static (I had to tie it down since I was feeling a bit weird having my hair look funky), my squinty eyes because of the dry air, and because of all this motion thing going on.

Well, I’m about done with this airplane thing and ready to step into another world (well to me), and explore.

Toodles. <3
