Losing all sense of time in the Orient

You people are all ridiculous.

Right, “East” versus “West” is an arbitrary, nebulous, and somewhat Eurocentric distinction, having something to do with the rise of Byzantine history.

Year of the Cat was a Top-10 single.

I’m going to go fucking insane soon. This is like perpetual jetlag; the 3 day weekend fucked me up even more since I tried to do stuff during the day. At least I get to fly home Saturday. 16+ hours in an econowife winter seat, then a 3 hour after midnight drive home in a rental car.

Living the dream! I only had to fly 12 hours in the back of the bus from Shanghai and then a 30 minute Uber on Saturday. Trust you made it home ok, right?

Cracks me up trying to explain the “reality” to University students about the “glamor” of international travel and business.

I’ve spent about the last 36 hours in my hotel room dealing with a sinus infection that made my teeth hurt so much I couldn’t eat (or I gave gingivitis, either way I’m following up with a dentist when I get home). On the plus side my upgrade to Premium Economy went through so hopefully the return flight won’t be quite as hellish.

I feel your pain. All it takes is a few rounds in the very back of the bus to appreciate the extra 10 degrees of incline and a couple inches of seat width and legroom in “Economy Plus.” It’s kinda like an electric fan in the summer desert, doesn’t ex02,notty, pub, windsor, adnan’s, burton, irish, w yorkie, whitbread, WLP026, WLP085Sighactly fix the problem but feels like a quantum improvement.

Sigh, I miss some of the old days with bigger budgets when business class was the norm and the beds lay flat.

weird post from another board there. apologies
