I've Arrived in Taiwan

I just got to my gate in Taiwan and have a 4 hour layover to get to Cambodia.

The flight was fine. I sat next to a young lady who was traveling in the US for a week with her father.  They went to LA and Vegas…two very untypical American cities! She is 16 years old and was trying to improve her English.  She did pretty well.

The strangest thing about the flight was that it was dark the whole way. I was hoping to see the ocean or some other continents.

Most of the passengers in my part of the plane slept. And they served dinner at 4am! I dozed through that meal. 

There was a GPS map to show us where we were and how far from our destination…which was rather neat.  We fly over Alaska, Russia and Japan. Can I count that on my “I have been to these places” list?

 It all seems so unreal still…I think that when I get to the group and we start visiting the villages and towns and meeting the people…then it will feel real.

More soon!
