The joys of free wireless are numerous, especially when you have three hours to kill at the airport. I will, in my defence, point out that it is currently 6am HK time. The hum of vaccuum cleaners and the buzz of the kid’s channel on tv provide a background symphony to my laptop musings. Also, for those glaring at me for being on the computer and not shopping, all the hundreds of shops in the international terminal are….CLOSED. So I cannot peruse the wonderful goods on display, which of COURSE I would normally.

The trip to the airport was amazing. It took about 35minutes from home to the airport, NO traffic, which is a record I think. We saw the camera crews doing their reports prior to Bush’s arrival. My flight was the last flight out of Sydney Airport, taking off at 10:07, a mere 12 minutes before Bush landed in his prestigious Air Force One. My seat, while not that bad, was in the cattle hold, and so it cannot be described as comfortable at all. I watched Monsters Inc., and it was as hilarious as ever. Boo is sooo adorable, and after seeing the Pixar Animnation exhibition in Melbourne, I picked up a few things that I didn’t notice before. I then attempted to sleep, an attempt which essentially miserably failed. No surprise there. I think anything would have trouble sleeping if they were crammed into a sardine can. Probably even sardines themselves. The ‘supper’ they provided was nice, Chicken with carrots and potatoes, along with a prawn salad and some kind of cake. Yes, I shall work on my food criticing skills. =p The water was cold. hahaha

It’s currently 25 degrees at 6am in Hong Kong. I don’t want to know what temperature it will be at midday, but by then I should be in Beijing =) I shall go now and stare at the cloudy visage that is HK atm. Beijing, here I come!!!
