Cramps, Dim Sum, Mech Warriors and Asian Buffet




Well I must say that was one terrible plane ride. For those of you who can only imagine, imagine this; Hundreds of people on a cramped plane. Babies, kids, old folks and sickly folks, put them all in one small compartment and then add a lack of air circulation, small-ass (lol literally) bathrooms and no leg room and then you have my flight. Oh! And add the fact we had deluxe, one step below first, so it was better than we could have hoped, then imagine that you are traveling for almost 15 hours. If I was claustrophobic I'd be screwed. The only saving grace of the flight are the wonderful flight attendants. You can tell that Asia knows what it's doing. People don't want to travel across the ocean for almost a day with ugly people waiting on you hand and foot. Nope, the pride of Taiwan, of Asia politely and efficiently serves you warm food and any amenity you can think of. Lucky for me! (Except I keep forget, I'm wearing my wedding ring.) So we finally arrive in Taiwan and I feel like I've just exited a box. One plus, the food in this airport is the shiznit as they say where I'm from. We had dim sum (traditional Chinese breakfast/brunch finger foods) and the dumplings and steamed buns were to die for! About 7 bucks a pop to die for and water for 4$? Well good thing I saved up for just the occasion. OOH! So I saw something that Tracee would enjoy incredibly! Just check out the picture below. As you know us Asians are so into mecha and techa AKA transformers! As we get ready to ride the plane to our final destination I look outside and realize that it's raining terribly. The entire plane ride I had a myriad of thoughts go through my head and perhaps it's truer than ever that this is my spirit sojourn that I've been in so need of. BTW, I'm seated right next to all those flight attendants and they are either looking at me bobbing my head to this tite jam (I'm black) or my enormous bling. (no pun) Until we get to Cambodia I'm ready to sleep. Thanks for reading. I'll see you next time! Wait. Wow another cutie just walked by me. I feel like I'm at an Asian Buffet*

*Note: All sexist and showbanistic remarks are in jest.

My competition for the flight attendants just arrived. Dirty pilots and their flimsy hats and terrible teeth!

Did you really have to be so descriptive on the plane ride? I kidd, but It did give me a taste of old man sweat in my mouth...thanks. Sounds pretty crazy though.
