It’s pitch-black outside and 12 o’clock for my body. But it just turned 6 o’clock here in Beijing. Looks like today/tomorrow will be a though one.
Normaly I’d be in the air at this moment. But as the universe wanted yesterday was one hell of a day.
After a night of ‘rest’ (yes ‘rest’, I don’t know if I even slept due to the anxiety of sleeping trough my alarm, missing my next flight) the day started well.
Had a nice breakfast, left my room and waited in the lobby for my cab driver to arrive. Luckily they had a computer there we could use, although the keyboard didn’t work.. so getting to any site was a tedious work of copy-pasting letters out of yahoo articles. I say luckily, as the cab driver was 30 minutes late… Thank God I asked them to pick me up at 9:00 so I’d definitely be on time in the airport for my flight at 13:30
Finally I can enter an aircraft to Asia. It isn’t a direct flight, which sucks but it’s getting me on the way. My rebook got me an isle-seat at the pathway. But I wasn’t really bothered by it.
The flight started out great when I was browsing the gaming options of the console.
Whenever I see the word “Mahjong” on any computer, I fear it’s the American pair-seeker. But to my surprise it was a Riichi Mahjong game! Time to get my game on and warm up for when I’m in Japan.
By now it was time to try and get some sleep in, but I’m not sure that really happened. As I eventually started to watch the first ‘new’ Power Rangers movie followed by Taxi 5.
After landing I experienced my first “asian busride” as we were escorted in a jampacked bus from the plane to the arrival hall. Passed the border without any problems.
So here I am, sitting at my terminal waiting for my flight in 3 hours. Luckily light is starting to show outside so that should help keeping me awake.
