Landing in Taipei

Just landed in Taipei. What a flight. I had been planning to get some work done for a very long essay that I had to write for school. But instead, I watched Frozen, slept for a few hours, then watch Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings and then half of the second movie as well. 

The waiting area outside of the security area is just as I remembered it a number of years ago. I see my dad and his brother there to pick me up. I recognize him immediately because he is wearing this Fremont Youth Basketball Club (FYBC) hat that he always wears. So I am sitting here now waiting for my cousins to arrive from California.

One of the first things I see is a vending machine for Hey Song. If you haven't heard of it, it's this sarsaparilla drink that is very popular here and I always seem to have a few cans of it (and Taiwan Beer) in my refrigerator at home. I drink an ill-advised can of it really quickly (it's about 6 in the morning here and people are giving me weird looks) and I'm off.
