Somewhere over China

June 7, 2011 somewhere over China

19:31 Thai time

I am sitting in seat 35C (the aisle) wishing that this 5 hour flight was moving faster.  There is about 3 hours left in this flight.  The flight is looking up because there was a choice of chicken or beef for dinner.  I get the chicken.  There is this soyday side dish that is quite tasty.  It looked like soft tofu and you put this spicy sesame dressing over it.  I would definitely eat that again.

I am working on my personal space issues.  I really like that in this culture there is a lot of affection within the genders.  There were many men with men and women with women walking arm in arm in the airport.  However, if you are stranger please don’t hang on me.  There is a woman sitting next to me on the plane and she is just a little too close for my comfort.  I realize that I am sharing space but my seat should be my area alone.  I just smile because I know that personal space means something totally different in Asia.  Pray for me folks.  I am going to need it.
