Finally here!

So..after a grueling experience with airports and confined seating of airplanes, I'm finally in Hong Kong. It sure feels like we were running away from the Sun. We left Dulles at 6 pm, arriving in LAX at around 9:30 local time, to meet our connecting flight at 12 AM. 15 long ass hours to Hong Kong International..jeez. So many babies crying for the duration of the flight, due to their lack of ability to yawn with the changes in air pressure. The only cool thing I can really say about Cathay Pacific is that the television monitors mounted in front of each seat had a plethora of television/movie programs that you could pick and choose from. So..I started off watching The Island, moving to Mars Attacks!, followed by some Ali G. At least I was able to start reading The Singularity is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology. Definitely well written and intruiging. (The determining factor being how rapid sleep beckons)
The food was ok, but I expect to have an interesting post flight experience within the next 24 hours. I'm in my Aunt's condo, which is conveniently located 15 mins from the airport. After a cold shower and some hot coffee, I'm ready to face the day! Let's hope I don't crash while walking down the streets of Mongkok. There are three dachshunds here. So cute, but each eager to devour my sandals. Pictures to follow, as soon as my camera defogs from the humidity that is Hong Kong.
