Los Angeles to Taipei was a breeze. Premium economy proved a far less expensive option than business class with some of the same comforts, at the same time not leaving you crippled from crumpling up in Coach for 14 hours. EVA Airlines, you rock. I am a fan. I had heard alot of the Asian carriers were superb and that is indeed the case. Even the coach section looked far more tolerable than their American (ack) and European counterparts.
Taipei airport is a high tech superstore. Blogging for free waiting for my plane to leave for Hanoi. Can't complain about that. LAX is so ghetto it's embarrassing. Lots of medical masks around me which is a bit alarming. Hand sanitizing every chance I get. Looking at my China Air flight outside of the window and rested, thanks to EVA, and some other helpful remedies. The 14 hour flight, honestly, terrified me. It's been a very long time since I have been on a plane that long. It was great.
I was here last, I believe, almost ten years ago next month. I am eager to see the change and progress in Vietnam and Cambodia I have heard so much about, with a little bit of dread that some of the most fantastic sights are now over run with tourists, which in 1999, were few and far between. Southeast Asia was adventure travel in 1999. To be honest, Im ok with a little more comfort in 2009.
Hanoi up next. Cheers.
