Flight and arrival!!!

Well, the flight was awful. Getting to the airport and security wasn't bad but I am way too stir crazy and fidgety to sit on a plane for 13 or more hours. I also was in the middle row of seats so I couldn't even look out a window. I would check once in a while out the window near the restroom when I went to use it but to be honest I couldn't see anything. ESPECIALLY the North Pole it was so bright that it was just blindingly white! I got to watch a few things while on the plane, the Discovery channel actually played which is a fave of mine and then the movies Fool's Gold, Horton Hears a Who, Married Life and Flawless. I didn't really pay attention to the last one (Flawless) because I was so beat! LOL

One thing I found interesting on the plane was the food and beverages. I got a coca cola each time I was offered a drink. The first can was definitely bottled in Berlin and was really odd, my second can came from Thailand and my third can was Chinese and finally the fourth can I got was American LOL, although it was still shaped funny with a wavy lip like thing instead of the regular way at the top (oh yeah this vast diversity in my coca-cola cans was most def. the highlight of the flight). The food was ok, we had 2 lunches, a snack supper thing and a few sweet snacks, coffee and hot tea. The supper snack thing was just like the cup of noodles things that you can buy at wal-mart near the Ramen noodles and our meals were first chicken and noodles and then lasagna. The last meal, the lasagna did me in. We got it about an hour before landing and I was not feeling well at all!

Once we got to the airport I was a bit better and didn't have trouble getting my bags and getting through all the security.
After that we hopped on the buses and took about an hour drive to Remnin University where we are staying.

Well I have to go for now but I will update you on my first evening in China and then about the happenings so far as soon as I can!
God Bless!
