Isn’t it interesting how different the life experiences of Western expats in Asia can be between men and women? The men look like they’re having the time of their lives. The women on the other hand often look like they’re lonely, mentally on edge, depressed or an unhealthy combo of all three.

Only $138 SGD (about $106USD) for that bagged bunch.
Should I?

If there’s a highlight of trying to get around Taiwan it’s taking the THSR…
And that’s when I do the traveling around on my own as my dad is too cheap to take the THSR. I mean why spend 95 mins on the train when you can spend 9hrs on a bus?

1st of 2 segments to #PaxEx on a route I haven’t flown on since 2016. 1st segment will be 11hrs in Polaris on a 28-year old B777-200ER.
2nd segment will be on a route to an airport I have never flown to previously.

It’s 12:35am on the Friday after #Thanksgiving . Remember how less than a decade ago at this time of night people would be fighting strangers in the aisles of the Walmart Superstore just for the privilege of blowing their 💴 on crap they didn’t need?
Those were the days.

Finally hit me, how shopping at an Asian supermarket and ✈️ flying to Asia have one glaring commonality…
Of the non Asian people you see at both the Asian supermarket and the flight to Asia, as far as the non visibly Asian people are concerned, about 95% are men.

Also welcome to the day before #Thanksgiving, the day when every news source will be giving out holiday travel advice gems like “check flight status online” or “get to the airport early” and the always favorite “don’t pack prohibited items in your luggage…”

A holiday weekend observation:
Airports aren’t really that much busier this week compared to busier weeks during the summer. One major difference is it takes almost everyone 3x longer to do everything than most other weeks outside of Christmas time.

A #BayArea related #Thanksgiving #PSA:
If you’re headed to SFO tonight for whatever reason, give yourself plenty of extra time as US101 and just about every access road to and from the terminals are one giant collective dumpster fire worth of gridlock.
