Big City Dreams

Okay. After the long suffering on the flight to get here, I'm finally sitting comfortably in the apartment that my sister is renting for all of us to stay in while we are here in the big city.

The 24 hrs spent sitting in planes and waiting in transit to get here was quite an ordeal. Couldn't imagine that sitting down was actually that much hard work. Not to mention that on the 11 hr flight frm Taipei to San Francisco, there was this really sour-looking lady sitting in the aisle seat of the row that my Aunt n I were in. It was really rather frightening to wake her up when we wanted to go to the loo n stretch our legs. She looked like she was ready to bite our heads off at any sec and I really didn't want to arrive in a body bag.

Quite interesting to observe the different type of people that you see walking through the various airports around the world. Already to get here, I had to sit for at least an hour in four different airports. So people-watching was a fantastic way of passing the time as we were waiting for our connecting flights.

There was one man in particular that really stood out. Well, if you see a man that personifies the movie slasher stereotype, you tend to remember them pretty vividly. Especially when he decides to stand directly under one of the airport lights which casts a shadow over his hooded face. OMFG! Spine chilling stuff.

Anyway. The drive into town from the airport was a pretty fast one and we managed to get into the apartment really quickly n get all our stuff into the rooms. Having my feet up after the long journey is really nice.

I'll post more once I have something to post abt. Meanwhile, we're gonna be heading out soon to try n keep ourselves awake and repel the effects of the jet lag.

Smell ya ltr..
