Underwhelmed

I know it is a strange thing, but I am completely underwhelmed by the craziness of my situation. I cannot believe that I am sitting in the Hong Kong airport (25C and humid) drinking starbucks. I woke up sometime between that world and this world and looked out my window. I could see the snowy mountain peaks of either Russia or Kamchatka. Flying over a country that I only have heard of because of the game Risk is crazy. We chased the sunrise and left it in our dust. The sky paled to dawn, faded back to night, sprung into a glorious sunrise then back to night. I have seen the sunrise 2 1/2 times in six or so hours. Dinner was at 3:30 a.m. your time. I had the vegetarian pasta. Yum. Breakfast was a choice of frittata or beef fried noodles. Tomorrow my breakfast will probably consist of a noodle dish and tropical fruit dipped in chili sauce. Heaven. The guys sitting next to me were very nice, which is good because we were at close quarters for a deathly long time. I can't wait for my king size bed! There is a very cute old couple skyping at the table in front of me. Using iPad2. Techie people! It's 7:30 now and the shops are opening in the airport. Maybe I can find something to snack on that has more substance than my popcorn twists. I'm not sure how these Asian women do it, but they all stepped off that 15hour flight looking as perfect and pressed as they got on. That is a skill I must acquire soon. There are showers here at the airport, but there wasn't enough time between flights to take advantage. More adventure to come!
