Taipei on the Grid

Plan So Far: Get into BKK by 1:30 am. Get to hotel before 3 am. Will probably be hungry (way past lunchtime!), so perhaps a little tom yam will hit the spot (it always does!). Noon: get driven 2.5 hours to dad's flat in Sattahip. Take the weekend to catch up with the extended family... discuss some work projects... see where i end up!

Not to complain much, but notably and largely for kicks: neither Dallas nor LA had free internet access...but Taipei does. Makes american airports look quite greedy, making you pay for access like that...!

Dallas has more food joints than i normally see in airports - for every newstand, there are multiple fridays, mickyDs, wendys, nascar bars, taco bells, urban taco, and more - okay, we get it, there's no lack of food in Texas!!! it's pretty ridiculous!

LA was quiet... and the flight was not full, which makes 14 hours more pleasant. enjoyed Bangkok Dangerous and Death Race, before catching a few continuous catnaps... but i still feel like i pulled an all-nighter... looking forward to a real bed... just one more leg...!

Best wishes to all - (and Happy Birthday, Jerry !)
