Well I made it!!!!!!
The flight was long and dreary, but I'm here. The flight from Calgary wasn't too bad. I was supposed to be seated with a couple who had a dog with them, but I was moved to an emergency row with an empty seat beside me, so I had plenty of room.
We had a four hour lay over in Lax which wasn't too bad. It went fairly quickly. We flew out of LA at 1:15 am. and I didn't see day light until we landed in Taipei at 5:30am on the 30th. My first seat was on the aisle beside an old Chinese couple. Everything was going good until the woman started to get one of those coughs that never seems to bring anything up. The husband on the other hand had no difficulty dilodging whatever was stuck in his throat. That, coupled with his sniffling made me beg that they would hurry and distribute the ear phones quickly. Luckily enough Adrian was able to find a couple of seats that were open elsewhere. I happily moved seats and once again had an empty seat beside me. The movie selection was pretty weak. The best film was "The Dish" an Austrailian film I have already seen, but I highly recomend it to everyone. I slept for a bit and then played Mario Bros. And after hours and hours we landed.
My first impression of Taiwan is FUCK! This place is nuts. I had visions of filth and crowds and clutter, and I was right. Adrian took me around the town and I unpacked into my very own room in my first apartment. And then I crashed. I am just about to shower and then it's off to dinner. So I will be back later to tell you more.
