Thanks for all the well wishes, guys! I'm not in Japan yet. Am nearing the end of my Taipei layover and taking advantage of the free internet. Flying China airlines was interesting. I've never seen the stewardesses have to bodily enforce the seatbelt rule so many times. I was nice and switched seats so a family could sit together which put me in one of people with baby rows, which actually wouldn't have been so bad since hte bady her(him?)self was very well behaved but her 4 year old sister was a little brat who was seceptible to my child charm (TM) so she spent a lot of time bugging me (like pressing random keys on my laptop when i had it open and stealing my water bottle etc). I noticed also that none of them had a sense of personal space so I got knocked into a lot when I was trying to sleep. Earplugs and face mask definately came in handy even if the sleep I got was interupted quite regularly and really not enough. I have that constant no sleep headache atm.
The food was both good and bad. The first meal was horrible, the second was great, and I really can't complain about the fact that they gave us instant ramen as a snack (it had tiny naruto in it!). I watched some One Piece and Jon Stewart at the Oscars (just his bits basically). Read The Rift a ST:OS novel by Peter David since I figured you can't go wrong with Peter David. It's funny since he reused some of his themes later, but his humour's still there. Am a couple of a hundred pages into Aztex which is nicely hisotricaly, though a ibt over done in the sensationalism department.
(er, the text is going weird now. sorry.)
I think I’ll post about Taipei later. I will be glad to see Japan. I’d also like my Monday and the 20+ hours i spent on a plane back *L*
