From the future...

Hey everyone!  With this time difference, it is a little crazy to feel like I'm in the future.  Wow, that was just a long flight yesterday.  Being in the middle seat between two people that you don't know will make a total flight time of about 24 hours seem like you are on an island that is about 10 square feet wide.  I was able to have really good conversations with a new friend, Adam.

Funny thing that happened yesterday.  Dana and Emily, you are going to love this... We stopped in Russia!  Moscow to be exact and it was cold!  Here is a photo taken from the airport. (Please look at my earlier post about Russia if you're feeling a little lost.)

There was another funny thing that happened on my flight over too.  On the next isle, there was a man who was sleeping with his head apparently on his tray in front of him.  I am in the isle getting something out of my backpack and another man passes between me and the man sleeping.  He accidentally bumps the man, causing his hot tea that was on the tray to spill on his hand.  This woke him up and he was not too happy about it.  He then gets the attention of a male flight attendant and tells him what happened.  He apparently asked to speak to the man who bumped him and the flight attendant went to look for him.  He found him and pointed for the angry man to come to him.  The man through his sunglasses on and then stormed down the isle... He started yelling at the man with the attendant present.  After about a minute or two, the flight attendant motions to him that he has yelled enough and asked him to go to his seat.  Afterwards the man had at least 3 attendants around him and had several creams and a ziplock bag to doctor his not so present "wounds."  There was a couple of cajuns from Louisiana sitting a row behind the man getting yelled at.  I was hoping that the man would try and yell at them!  Probably a different outcome... Different cultures!

Here are some pictures of our first day in Southeast Asia.  It's Chinese new year on January 23. They have all these lanterns everywhere to get ready.  Everyone is so excited!


More photos to come I promise!
