One of the really nice things about this blog is that it's mine and I can write what I want when I want to -- that's why sometimes I'm going to post more thoughtful essays and longer-form content and other times just write updates as I see fit, without worrying about whether or not they adhere to some important structure. It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to, etc., etc.

I arrived last night in Bangkok around 1 am after many, many hours of travel. The flight between San Francisco and Hong Kong was 14 or 15, which didn't seem like such a big deal when I booked the ticket (after all, a flight between SF and Europe is usually close to 12) but I was literally ready to get off the flight in about hour 5. Seeing that there were 9 more hours to go on the flight info screen was not exactly encouraging.
