Philippines Day 0: SFO and the Airplane

Here I am in Taiwan Airport (TPE) just waiting for my flight to take off. The wait in SFO was not too bad actually. I have been on the same flight over and over again. Every time I go an Asian country I tend to take China Airlines Flight 003, whether it be to Indonesia or to India. I wait at the same gate, I fly into the same airport. So TPE is very familiar to me.

Some new things I have noticed in TPE. There is now a new eLibrary, with lockers and stuff. I did not really check it out, but it is new. Also some new shops, and the best thing, free Wifi at every gate.

Despite the food on China Airlines flight (non-diabetic safe diabetic meals), the trip was not too bad. I think I finally got used to sleeping in economy seats too. I also watched Super8 and Me19 (a Taiwanese Film). I guess I have to count myself lucky to be traveling so much.

Now to wait. In three hours I will be in Manila starting my adventure in Philippines. Anyone have any tips while I am there?
