3 flights 1 upgrade
After 3 delayed flights and one first class upgrade, I finally arrived in Shanghai, 3 hours late. I can't believe every flight was delay due to some weather issue or runway congestion problems. Anyway the trip was fine and didn't seem to take long at all. I watched quite a few movies on the plane because I had one of those personal video screens where you can select movies and play games. It wasn't till the last flight that I got a free upgrade to business class. I got to sit in one of those dome-shaped seats that turn into a bed. It was awesome, I fell asleep immediately and almost missed my salmon dinner. "How's Shanghai?" Well it's cold, but not quite as cold as in Minnesota. The only problem here is that houses/apartments in China tend to lack heating so you're constantly feeling chilly. Another issue with the cold is that in MN, we're not exposed to it for longer than 10 minutes at a time, because we'd probably freeze to death. In MN we're out in the 7F for 5 minutes tops, whereas here, you're out in the 29F for maybe 30mins at a time because you need to walk to most places. But I can't complain, I'm on vacation and I'm doing absolutely nothing. When I'm tired of that I'm going to go back to reading my books, "Getting Things Done" and "Reminisces of a Stock Operator".
