I’m in Hong Kong

I made it!!! Ended up sleeping most of the flight from Seoul to Hong Kong, 4ish hours in hour spurts. It was probably a good thing I didn’t sleep on the Atlants to Seoul, the Seoul to Hong Kong seemed to be about 1/2 little kids that cried most of the way to HK, but since I was so tired the crying didn’t bother me.

Made it to HK about 10pm local time, out of the Airport to the train by 11pm, taxie from Koloowoo about 11:30 and the hotel around Midnight. Slept well and had a wake up call for 6am. Feeling pretty refreshed now and on the Equine venue with my Paralympic accredation.

The hotel is very nice, gread bed and bath, infinately better than the Greece accomodations.

I’m in Incheon International Airport

2008-08-28 009 Stitch

I made it to Seoul, well Ican(sp), Korea. Lucked out on my flight from Atlanta to Seoul, had an isle seat and the one next to me was empty. Korea Air had a LCD TV for each seat that let you pick which movie to watch. Think I watched 5 ish movies 🙂 Even with the empty seat I could not sleep on the flight. I have about 2 hours before getting on the flight to Hong Kong. Should be there 10 AM your time. Oh, and I had Bibimbop on the flight. The Korean flight attendent was at first surprised that I wanted it. Then did the watching for my confusion on how to eat. No problems but I like it in heated stone bowls better.

Eee PC

Briefly had my hands on one of the Eee 900s. The new work intern has one. Damm, in a store it would definitely encourage impulse buying. If it wasn’t bolted down to a shelf/counter top. I still wish it was $200-300 instead of $400-600 and the bigger screen than the first Eee 2/4G seems a must. Seriously almost as sexy as playing with an Air at BestBuy. Hell give the Eee an air shell and it would definately out sex the Air even running XP.

After doing some price comparisoning the basic Eee 900 is $150 more with XP over Linux. Microsoft maybe keeping XP around for the mini laptops but they are collecting margins better than ever for XP.
