I guess these are the last moments before actually hitting up Australia and taking their youth by storm. I'm so excited. Still not really sure what I've gotten myself into, by stoked none-the-less. How about some tales of the journey thus far.
Toronot - my bags totally made the weight limit :) thank you Jesus.
Air Canada - no food on the flight and I didn't eat breakfast - rough start for the stomache that doesn't like planes anyways.
Sanfrancisco - Got the headache of a lifetime and backpain that cancelled any attempt at being comfortable at all during the flight. Singapore Airlines are awesome. Holy mother if you ever wanna fly first class for reals - hit them up: plasmas.. There is so much room in their seating areas that there are like 8 seats in the first class section. Pretty redonc if you ask me but good for those that can fly first class.. I however will forever be the one stuck by the window beside a sleeping couple that can never get out to use to the bathroom because she feels too guilty to wake them during their airplane slumber to do so. I sat by the window with an Indian couple beside me. The wife was in the middle and when she fell asleep she literally toppled onto my shoulder - over and over.. and over. food was pretty good until my stomache decided it didn't feel the same way as my taste buds.
Seoul/Incheon Korea - So the flight from Sanfrancisco to Seoul Korea was 12.5 hours and then we stopped and got off and then reloaded 45 minutes later onto the same plane. Once we loaded - and to my excitement I was again seated beside the toppling sleeper - we were about to head out for the run way. However the power lines felt differently and they split shutting off all electricity in the aircraft. Panic started to rise as I realized that that so could have happened in the air during the last flight or doing the coming one. So for about an hour they hooked the lines back up and then it failed again probably a solid like 5 or 6 times before they got the engineer to replace it. Once replaced the pilot, who's english I couldn't understand 1. because I was so darn tired and 2 the system was fuzzy, he told us that it was safe to continue. My nervous did not feel the same way. I sleep a few hours on that flight though so that was nice. The section of the flight after reloading in Seoul was 5.5 hours. MEANING from Sanfrancisco to Singapore not only was I sitting for 18 + hours (because of the electricty problem) but I only got to the bathroom once. Good times.
This may sound like a lot of complaining.. however it's all in good spirits because once landing in Singapore the following happened: free internet, there are actually people at the information booths, there are information booths within walking distance of gate, free foot & caf massage, free blankets and beds, free lounge area with lots of awesomely comfy chairs, walking escalators and stair escalotors everywhere (love those things), my headphone work and I'm watching She's the Man and best of all I can get up whenever I want to and go to the bathroom 500 times if I want even if I don't actually have to go.. I can just walk in and walk out for the sake of it. Can life honestly get any better. And I still have like 3 and half hours to take advantage of this. Life is good isn't it? Unfortunate events really do make you appreciate that good times. Thank you Singapore for being awesome!
I think it's time to go explore what else I can do for free.
Keep praying for God to work through this school and use us to make a difference. I'm excited to see what we'll be doing.
Have a good one.
