leeeavinnggg, oonnn a jet plaaane. something something, won’t come back againnn.

 

again, i am struck by the beauty of the HK international airport. so very well done. and so efficient! it took no time at all to get checked in, maybe 5 minutes to get through security. it’s heaven in here. except for the life-size 747 cutaway airplane i’m forced to stare at while i have my croissan’wich and scalding hot coffee. it’s a tad disturbing. only because last night while i was packing, the discovery channel was playing something about the two 747’s that collided on the ground back in 1974 in the canary islands. they called it the worst disaster ever in aviation history. from the film stock, it was a gruesome event. so now i’m staring at a cross section of a 747. i’m also boarding one here shortly. it’s a long haul this morning. one, long, non-stop haul from HK to SFO. my only consolation is the free hooch. obviously.

 

i think i need to walk. i want to do as little sitting as possible until i’m parked in my seat on the plane. ooh! i got some good, bootlegged movies to watch during the flight. i love piracy.
