Choose a plane flight that puts me in Ghangzhou Airport in China. . . . First of all, I was just transferring there, and it took FOREVER to go through immigration, so I could get a temporary stamp on my passport. Then there were no cool places like Starbucks or Dunkin', or even McD's for a man to get his grub on. Thankfully I made friends with an Australian guy named Glenn, who had just finished a teaching job in Seoul. We talked about our Korean ladies, learning Korean, Korean food, and plenty of other things that didn't involve Korea in them too. Glenn was heading back to Melbourne, but he had two more dreaded hours of hanging out at the airport.
Of course, when I finally got wi-fi in a coffee shop there, I realized that one can't use Google, and it turns out that Facebook was blocked as well. I finally arrived here in Hanoi at about 11:15 pm, and got through their immigration line super quick (thanks to the lady in Korea who helped me get my visa process expedited since I was misinformed about something). The driver was their waiting to pick me up with a sign saying "John Tower". About 30-40 minutes later, I finally arrived to see my super jet-lagged cousin Joe, who flew all the over here to Vietnam from Chicago -- he's out big time right now on his bed.
I'll keep you guys posted daily if I can. . . . Here are some pictures I've taken over the last few days as well.
