Yes folks, I have arrived in the Philippines save and sound! The flight was very nice; I’d recommend flying JAL on any long trips. They have funky head rests and arm rests where you could pick and watch your own movies independent of others around you. I saw The Greatest Game Ever Played (twice), Two for the Money and Corpse Bride.
I also believe that they (JAL) are obsessive compusive feeders. I think we were being fed something every hour. On the 5th hour of the flight, I had surrendered any hope of maintaining my current weight.
Last night’s temperature was 29 Celsius. Today the projected temperature is around 35-40. Yes, this is quite different from the 5-10 degrees I’m used to in Vancouver. So how am I coping to the change in climate? Two ways: (1) I’ve surrounded myself with two electric fans at any given point in time and at this moment, the airconditioner is running (take into account I’m writing this post at 7:10am). (2) I’ve also bought SPF 2000 lotion which is the same as buying an armored van to protect against pea shooters.
Pictures will be posted soon. At least until I can get this wireless router to work and upload pictures from directly infront of the airconditioner.
