Super Long Travel Day

I've had some very long travel days in the past, but today may have taken the cake!  After spending the day yesterday in Bangalore, I returned to the hotel, spent some time blogging and waited until 9pm, when the taxi took me to the Bangalore airport.  I arrive and was sitting in the Thai Airways lounge about 2 hours before my flight was scheduled to take off, which was at 1am - I was NOT really expecting to take a legit red-eye flight on this trip, but I have since learned that when you go to India, your return flight is ALWAYS a red-eye.  Its just how the international flights work... I landed in Bangkok at around 6am, got a little lost in the airport - the signs were NOT very good.  But I eventually made it to the Thai Airways lounge with 45 minutes to spare before my flight to Hong Kong. The flight to Hong Kong was short - only about 3 hours, but it was my first flight on an Airbus A380.  Its a nice plane and I really enjoyed being upstairs in business class.  I can definitely say that this trip would be virtually unbearable if it wasn't for business class - my leg is just hurting too much.  I can't take any NSAIDS (Advil) now, and I can feel it - I hurt everywhere. Here's a photo of my seat on the A380:

Thai Airways is a pretty airline - but the lay-flat seat was less than 6ft long!

Now that I have the APAC card, I really breeze through security in Hong Kong - it is AWESOME! Especially the drive through the border - I easily saved 30-45 minutes today! Once hear at the Westin, I walked by the Apple Store - this scene is amazing!!

Apple Store in China - look at all the people! You could barely walk through the store!

I love my view in Shenzhen!  Although this place has taken its toll on my - one of the longest and hardest years of my life working on BragiNG - it willl continue to hold a dear spot in my heart!
