Trip to Taiwan/Thailand

Okay so flight leaves Alaska at 4:15 am and we get there with plenty of time at 2:20 am. Jian and Kayti helped me checke my bags and we say goodbye. Security was a breeze, besides me almost forgetting my Nalgene and Jian having to run it back to me from the car. Get to my gate and make a couple calls and buy some candy and post cards at a stand nearby. The flight was delayed a bit but I got a chance to talk to this older guy named Dean. He was telling me about how he races dog sleds all around Alaska and offered to teach me if I ever came back to Alaska. i also got to ask him about Palin (since none of the college students had a clue), he said she was actually a personal friend and he liked her a lot as a governer and kinda wish she'd lose the race to come back and govern Alaska, though he thought Obama would win anyways.

On the plane I sat next to a guy from Philly, probably in his mid-twenties, and he was on his way to Indonesia to work at the Ritz Carlton Hotel for three months with a group of people. On the other side was a Chinese woman and her toddler who would not stop screaming or laugh the entire trip! Luckily, I was able to sleep through most of the trip, including all the snacks besides a ham and cheese sandwhich :(. The whole trip was about 10 hours.

I got to Taipei, Taiwan at 8:00 am. And waited until 9:40 am until they started loading the plane. It was cool I got wireless internet in the airport and I listened to some music. On the plane I got the aisle seat, finally, which was nice and my own personal screen. I slept through take off and woke up to watch Baby Mama for the first half of the flight. Unfortunately, I didn't sleep through the food this time and I had chicken with noodles that turned out to upset my stomach for the rest of the flight. No fun. I watched a little bit of Armageddon trying not to get sick. Finally we landed in Thailand at about 12:00 pm. Getting through customs and getting my bags were a lot easier than I thought it would be so I was really glad about that. I had finally arrived!!
