I'm going to taiwan for family. I usually go once a year to see friends, grandparents, other relatives. This is my last summer before college starts so my mom wanted me to go back this one (hopefully not) last time. Taiwan is going to be fun regardless of internet. Lots of AMAZING FOOD and of course 50cent bubble teas ahhhhhh can't wait. Ill be in Taiwan for a month with no laptop... only my phone. How will I survive?!?  | ||

Why did you fly to Kaoshiung instead of the Taoyuan international airport then take the express train down, lol. So much more comfortable that way and avoids waiting a year at Narita. Anyhow, last time I was at Narita they have decent wireless service from bongodo or whatever that provider was called again. 50cent bubble tea be godly, I want some good place to open up on East Coast. At the moment all I have is Tenren T.T | ||

- Korean couple who were largely making out the whole time [enjoying last moment of freedom before returning to their emotionless home]. Terrible. Didn't talk to them at all. - Old Korean grandfather. He slept the whole time. Terrible. - Korean couple. Was awesome, I talked to them the whole time. They loved to drink, so we drank. Was my first experience where my Korean was better than someone's English. - I REALLY hoped I would sit beside someone who was Japanese. I could use this time to get oriented and get suggestions on where to go because I had zero plans before going to Japan. They sat me in the emergency exit row. In North America, the emergency exit row fills up first because there's more leg room. In Asia, it fills up last because they think it's more dangerous or some shit. The entire plane is filled, every seat, except the emergency exit rows. 11 empty seats around me, and mine. Fuck. - Emergency exit row again. Same 11 empty seats. - I sat beside the cutest (looks and personality) girl ever. She was like 20 and had never left the country and had never flown. Everyone was wearing shitty clothes because it's an 11 our flight. She was in the standard Korean girl outfit. The plane was taxiing to the runway and she tapped me on the shoulder and said "Excuse me. Are we flying now?" Hahahahaha my heart melted. When I got off the plane she looked so confused. I said nice to meet you etc. and tried to leave but she said "wait, let's please go together". Oh my god what a cutie haha. I had a connection so I don't know what happened to little miss pink coat :D Other notables: - Young [12 years old?] boy who threw up beside me during take off. I couldn't stop looking at the bag slowly leaking fluid on his tray and filling up. He spent the flight bragging to me about his house and all the places he had been. - Fat man sitting in the emergency exit row. He was spilling over into my seat so badly I was fully leaning away from him. Fortunately it was a 45 minute flight. I guess when you get to that size you just stop giving a fuck about trying not to inconvenience people. - Angry asian man claiming the full arm rest in a way I couldn't rest my arm without touching his. After he went to the washroom I held my arm on that fucking arm rest the entire flight out of spite. Fuck that guy. - Old man asking me what I was reading. I explained it was about basic string theory and briefly explained what that was. He told me during his retirement, he had started studying basic physics and it all started from asking his friend "Why are there so many exponents in basic formulas?" Super cool and friendly guy. We talked the whole flight. - Cute girl talking about university experiences. During last 5 minutes she casually brought up her boyfriend. What a tease. - Asian girl who watched me play third strike for like an hour. I never said anything to her and she never said anything to me. I'm really bad at randomly starting conversations haha. Those are the memorable ones. I love that moment you get on the plane because in that moment anything can happen. Your next 11 hours could be super interesting, or boring and uncomfortable beyond belief. | ||
