Taiwan

I thought my layover was in China, but apparently I was wrong. That's nothing new. I am now in Taiwan waiting eight hours for my next flight to Bangkok.

The flight over here was the longest trip I have been on. I think the only one that comes close was the 12 hour drive to Tahoe on my mom's birthday years ago. What a birthday. Haha. China air-lines is not good. It feels like a southwest plane, but a lot bigger with three main tv's to watch movies I have never heard of, and for good reason. They were as bad as the Batman movie with the termiantor. For those of you who haven't scene Batman 4 with Mr. Freeze, don't. However, they did show How I Met Your Mother, so I can't complain. The trip wasn't that bad, probably because I am stoked for Thailand.

Anyway, the Taipei airport is not that exciting at all. I thought it would be full of shops and restaurants, but those are limited. I was really excited to see that they have a nice shower that all transferring passengers can use. When I saw this, I dashed to the counter in order to use the shower, only to find out they were out of towels. After the disappointment of the shower, I went back to the bathroom. I opened one of the stalls and froze for a second. When I looked down, I realized that the toilets are in the ground, literally. I was perplexed. It may not be new to some of you, but for a guy who has not traveled, going to the bathroom while sitting on the ground is quite awkward... It was the experience that counted though and this is just the start of weird things I am going to have to get used to.

I'm crazy tired and need to get some sleep before my next flight. I'll keep this updated probably every couple of days. Take care
