Day 1

I haven't been on a plane ride lasting more than 5 or 6 hours for about a decade, so 14 hours is passing by pretty slowly. Thankfully, I found that I was able to fall asleep for a few short hours. A couple things that I've noticed...


If you have a newborn, don't go traveling! They'll keep the whole cabin awake.

Airplane food, although still not any meal I'd take pride in eating, has definitely improved from what I remember. I can imagine finding something like this in a small cafe at home.

All of the people I've met so far are surprised that I speak English, but we're on a flight from America!

Last thing, I didn't bring a computer on the trip and I realized I can't upload pictures from my phone so tweet pics will suffice.

Surprisingly decent airplane food

One last thing! Due to the regulations on communication in China, most posts will come in batches.
