junk boats and english boys.

week one in hong kong complete.

its been so full of delicious food, its kinda ridiculous. no joke. i weighed myself within a few days of coming home and i had gained five pounds. disgusting, right?

so, from the beginning. left boston on dec. 22nd. got to newark and before finding out my connecting flight to hk had been delayed for 11 hours. all because of a clogged toilet. no, seriously. first we got delayed until 6pm, from 3:30pm, so that they could figure out which toilet was messed up and fix it. then, according to regulation, if a long-haul flight is delayed by more than two hours, the airline is obligated to allow the crew to go home and sleep for eight hours. and this flight didn't have a back up crew. hence, passengers were stuck at the gate until the crew had gotten their rest. :P lame. and i would've killed time by blogging this while i was stuck curled up at the terminal, but my dumbass packed all of my chargers and powercords and chargers in my checked baggage, which the airline wasn't about to give us access to. ass.

i guess, at least we weren't caught in this blizzard business. that would've sucked. more.

at 2:15am, the flight finally got their act together and got the hell out of newark. i immediately jump on the personal tv system, play a couple of games, and then what do i find??..

 

yaaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!!! :D

so i finally get in to hk at 7:15am on christmas eve. get home. shower. and get an early christmas present!!! it's an ipad!!!!!!! then jess got me despicable me + a leather ladybug penholder. its super cute and made from recycled leather. yaaaayyyyy!!!
