Taipei, Taiwan

International travel has left me BAMBOOZLED. (I wasn't aware of the present time or day until trying to write this post)
But for all the hassle of connecting flights and security checks, I finally got to settle in Taipei, Taiwan, or at least for a day. Tomorrow morning, I leave for the Philippines.

We flew on Malaysia Airlines from LAX (L.A. International Airport), which was pretty sweet for 14 hours of airtime. All kinds of Asian people, lady attendants dressed in Asian dresses (shocker), meals, leg space, and sweet monitors embedded into the seat in front of you, complete with games, recent movies, and music. All included in the ticket fare!

Taipei's airport was basically deserted when we got there. The advertisements were brightly colored, featuing cute cartoons, as one might expect an Asian country to have. There are signs about H1N1 virus and hand sanitizer everywhere - quarantine is no joke either, they had heat sensing cameras! COOL!

Fast forward 2 hours later, and we took a double decker bus to the hotel.
