smooth as silk
It probably felt like the shortest flight from Europe to Asia ever, and smooth as well--we did not experience any turbulence throughout the journey. Thanks to HY's mum we enjoyed the privilege of having our meals FIRST, because she specifically ordered the 'non-beef meals'. Well, everyone gets two choices anyways, and you'd always get something that does not potentially have mad cow disease. But it sure is nice to watch everyone waiting to be served while you have already finished the meal.
Most of the flight was in darkness. Yet it was in the afternoon when we flew across China, and boy look at these mountains. A view nice to see from above, but maybe not so pleasant a place to live in.
Lastly, Taiwanese newspapers on Dragon Airlines suggested that home is not far away. On this page two annoyingly skinny TWN pop stars are trying to gain weight--as if I'm so interested in their diet. Am back to a place where lank and bony figures are considered beautiful.
