Testing, testing, 1 2 3

Just checking in to see if everything is up an running. I am heading over to Singapore for 3 weeks and thought I would fire up the old blog. Right now I am sitting in the airport at Hong Kong with an hour layover so the plane can refuel and hopefully get some yummy new snacks. I just saw 3 military guys waking around the airport in full gear each holding a machine gun. I guess that is how you know you are in a foreign country. It is just about 6:30am here and 3:30pm back in the US. The flight here was decent. There was about an hour straight of turbulence in the middle of the flight which made sleeping a little hard. I have always felt I could sleep through anything, lights on, TV blaring, but having the plane bounce around is the one thing I guess I can't sleep through. Also, it is a little unnerving that your are somewhere over the middle of the Pacific Ocean probably hours from land. I just kept telling myself that turbulence was normal. Well this is just a quick check in. I don't have much else to do and most of the stuff in the airport is closed anyway. I will post again after I get checked into my hotel in Singapore. Until then, See Ya!

p.p.s. Food in Business class is really pretty good. Not your usual microwave dinner fare. However, you can definitely see the Asian influence on the menu. For breakfast they start you out with a nice cup of coffee, some juice and nice plate of tropical fruit, delicious. Next you get a nice bowl of corn flakes and a pastry or croissant. Then came the main course. You had 3 choices, a bowl of Chinese noodles with big juicy shrimp, a plate of dim sum with both pork and vegetarian, and a cheese omelet with mushroom, peas and onions with a side of veal sausage. I guess you could make do with the cheese omelet but I figure ‘when in Rome...’ and I went with the Dim Sum. I have never really had Dim Sum but it was pretty good. Peas sound like a really strange thing to have with your omelet.

I am just about to Singapore now and I am pretty sure the seat stopped being comfortable about 8 hours ago.
