Well, compared to Vietnam it seems like home to me. I speak the language, and am familiar with the customs. <\/p>\n
We arrived last evening around 5 and had dinner with Devon and Xiang Xiang (Elena). Western food! Barbecued chicken cutlet, salad, soup, macaroni side. I love Chinese and Vietnamese food, but after two weeks my stomach was getting homesick.<\/p>\n
I expected the airport yesterday to be buzzing with added security after the lost Malaysian airline which happened just a few hours before we took off, not far from where we were. But everything was normal. We didn’t even have to take our shoes off. Nobody seemed nervous. <\/p>\n
As I write this it has just been reported that they believe they have sighted a door from the aircraft in the water. Though there was already little hope, that pretty much eliminates any. Interpol has just reported that nobody checked with them on the stolen passports, which points a finger at Malaysian Airlines not doing a thorough security check on its passengers. Cross them off my list for flying.<\/p>\n
