Best new translation funnies: stewardess anouncement as we're about to land in Taiwan, "We have enjoyed some of you and thank you for your behavior today on the plane." So good I had to write it down right away. Just talked to Paper and Fi over Skype, felt like we were on the moon hoping to know how everyone back home was doing... Drinking Kirin and just finished a ham and cheese sandwich getting weird looks as its only 5 in the morning here! Many hours ahead of us in the Taiwan airport - woo hoo!

Loved the stewardess annoucement. English is such a difficult nuanced language for many...even us. Glad you made the long long flight OK.

Keep your eyes open and your heart warm. Enjoy Bangkok
