Long flight from Taiwan to Minot, North Dakota, USA

2009.04.22 Leave Taiwan to Minot, North Dakota, USA


Today is the first day of GSE program. We took early plane departed at 9:45 in the morning. I was sleepy but when I got into the hall of the airport and started to check in, I became so excited. I can’t believe this is it! All we’ve been waiting and dreaming for is getting real right now, right this moment!!
But my exciting didn’t last long, guess what, I didn’t know the journey was so long!! We have to change four planes, go to four different airports to get the final destination. So today I’ve been to Tokyo, Los Angeles, St. Paul. During the time we’ve waiting for the next plane. We stayed in the airport for a little window shopping.
I have trouble sleeping on the plane. And I don’t wanna waste my time to sleep when I visit a new plane. If I count the hours by Taiwan’s time, I’m kind of like didn’t sleep for 24 hours. So tired!!!! In the end, I finally got deep sleep on the plane which from Los Angeles to Minot. Louise said I slept like a dead pig, ‘cause there were two kids sitting behind us keep on playing the table on the back of my chair and I still not woke up.
On our last plane to Minot, all I wanna do is sleep. I just wanna get to the home stay and head into the bed right away. But our home stay was so sweet making us a welcome banner. And that woke me up!!! My host is a very kind and graceful lady named Kim. And she has a handsome son named Turner who plays piano. (OK, I’ll try to show you guys the picture. :) )Their house was so beautiful and so America style. I feel like I’m some character from a Hollywood movie!!

It’s a long day, actually should be two days. In Taipei we departed at 4.22 but now here is 4.22. So basically I’ve awake for two days. I guess this is the end of today. But I am very excited what’s going to happen tomorrow. We’ll see. :)
