- I’m sitting in the Vancouver airport, my plane for Shanghai leaves in 40 minutes. It’s raining here, so there was no visibility when we landed. I might as well be in Indiana. The first two flights from Boston to Toronto and Toronto to Vancouver went very smoothly. So far I’ve already clocked in about six hours in the air. Have another 14+ to go. Watched the Dark Knight on Air Canada’s individual entertainment centers…not even worth a Netflix rental. Maybe it would have been better on the big screen…8” didn’t do it justice. Read the NY Times & SI. Air Canada food was non existent. Had to pay $5 for a really sad ham and egg sandwich on a muffin…at least that’s what they called it.
- Exchanged $200 US for 1200 RMB at the currency exchange here.
- We’re getting free internet in the airport, don’t know when I’ll be online again.
