ok, first holiday trip post.

no sleep the night before. airport 6am on monday, 3 hour flight to vancouver, then 12 hour flight to hong kong. you get off the plane and it's pouring like a maniac, but it's super warm and humid - it feels really good. we wander around the airport trying to locate a computer because we don't know where our hotel is, and find a Pacific Coffee Company (the local starbucks - though of course there's real starbucks too), which has public computers (they charge you by only giving you a mouse if you buy a drink, but if you know how to use hot keys then it's NET FO FLEE) so we look shit up. i think it was something like 6-8 pm when we got there. take a train to the vicinity of our hotel, then spend a while trying to locate a cab who goes to this area (a bunch of them line up to go across the bridge and won't take you anywhere local), and eventually find one who takes us on a 5 minutes ride to a location that turns out was 2 minute walk away. fortunately, cab rides are all but free here.

i've been here waiting for thayer to get out of the hotel room, so now that he's here, we're gonna go eat. it's 10:30a. going to food!
