Well my Journey to Vancouver has been very interesting so far....
I flew out of Adelaide last night to Brisbane, the flight was good.... Once i got to Brisbane, i made my way to the international airport, where i spent the night sleeping on a couch there....
This morning i flew out of Brisbane... fairly tired, due to not much sleep the last few nights....
I got to watch 3 movies.... Amazing Grace, Firehouse dog and wild hogs.... it was good....
However during the flight, about an hour out from Taipie, i was sick.... it was heaps bad, i have never been sick on a plane before, i think a large part of me being sick was the lack of sleep. Any way i made it to Taipei, and out to the motel that i am staying at, which was complementry otherwise i probably would of stayed another night in an airport..
On the drive to the motel, we went pass a lot of buildings, that were in slum like conditions... and then we arrived at where i was staying and it was this huge mansion Golf Restort... definately not anything that i would usually stay in. And it was a in your face reminder of how different the world is.... there are people that have money and those who don't. One thing that was amazing that a night in this place cost someone about $30 Aus to stay there.... which makes you think how much to the people working here get paid.... and something more amazing is it cost more to play around of golf then what it cost to stay here.... it is $100 Aus to play a round of golf....
It is a real reality check.... and a good opportunity to discuss stuff along these lines with other people staying at the motel....
Anyway should go... and get some sleep.... cause i continue to Vancouver tomorrow.... i will actually arrive there 1/2 hour before i left here.... tiem wise anyway...
God bless.
