My flight to Taiwan


My flight was over 12 hours. Luckily for me, I had a window seat, as you may have already guessed. I was right next to the wing, and was also able to get a good look at one of the engines of bird death. Or, potential engine of bird death.

Check out the frost on the window.

Even though the stewardesses requested that all passenger windows stay closed for the majority of the flight - because the cabin would be too bright - I did manage to see a lot of clouds, boats, mountains, islands, and other planes. One type of cloud reminded me of waffles because they were thick and flat, yet not flat. You may not be able to make sense out of that description.

I didn't sit directly next to anyone on the plane, but one seat over sat an annoying woman. I'll spare you the details. Behind me was a seat-kicking kid and a relaxed parent. To my front was an older man who had no qualms about reclinning his seat back all the way.

Besides the length of the trip, and other minor annoyances, my flight was great.
