The Flight

So, as I sit here watching an intense match of ping pong on TV, I've decided to do our first blog post from China.  After an uncomfortable flight from Milwaukee to LA (mostly sleeping), we met up with Chris and Laura Miller and Aaron and Crystal King.  We had burritos (wise choice?) for lunch and then boarded our trans-pacific flight.

Here's a nice little note letting us know that even though we slept through the first meal, we can request it at anytime (Spring never got around to it and they took it down when they served the next meal).

Here I am enjoying my delicious, asian meal.

This is what the bathroom looked like

While Spring was gallivanting in the restroom, I was doing one of two things

The inflight movies were X2 and then a bunch of Korean films.  Spring acquired a new addiction to Dr. Mario.  However, the highlight of the flight was the "Sunshine Calisthetics" film that took you through the motions of arm slapping and neck stretching to overcome travel stiffness.  The best part was when the polo-shirt clad demonstrators broke into freeform dance at the end, for who knows what reason.

Lots of luggage, it barely fit in the taxi

We finally made it to our hotel (金一村）and Spring's poor ankles were so swollen!

What a trip!
