Safely arrived China





Howdy~~ it's 5am local time on Tuesday May 11, and I am jet legged....
But! None the less, I have safely arrived Guiyang, China (where my grandma lives) and worked out with the Chinese firewall, so I have secret access to blogspot :D
The trip was really uneventful, a bit long. It took me about 25 hours to flight + transfer from Houston to Beijing, and then another 3 hours to get to Guiyang (not including the 4 hr waiting time prior to borading). But I am so excited to be home that it makes it all worth while. and brought Eclipse (Twilight saga) to kill time while I am waiting...
interesting discovery about this pic..I was waiting in L.A. for boarding, and I am reading an English novel, listening to Chinese songs on my MP3 player, and the PA system is annoucing boarding in Korean (flying with Asiana). Ineresting combination...


Right before boarding at L.A. at midnight...



Speaking of Asiana, if you ever considering to fly to China, or Asia in general, I would recommend Asiana! I think they are fairly new and wants to get a piece of the market so their tickets are the cheapest right now and their service are two thumbs up (I mean after all they are Koreans, known for their hardworking mentality, alone with the Japanese guys). Food are MUCH more flavorful to any other flight I have been on, I wish I took pic but I chowed down before I could think...


Snapshot of Incheon Seoul International Airport at 5:30am local time...@.@







Oh, and btw, China has limited access to certain websites because the firewall security deal, blogspot.com, facebook, youtube, etc...but not to worry, when there's a question, there's a solution, there's blocking, and there is a sneaky way to go around it.
