LAX to Taipei to Bangkok

salaam

we've just completed a thirteen hour flight to taipei, taiwan where we have a two hour layover before we reach bangkok, thailand. we left LAX at 0120 (1:20 am) on sunday, october 2nd, and we arrived in taipei at 0600 (6:00 am) on monday, october 3rd. our flight on EVA AIR was a pleasure. we were greeted with warm towels, pillows, quilted blankets, and slippers...so far so good. stepping into the taipei airport is almost like being on the set of irobot...i mean they have projection screens talking to you as you walk from one gate to the next, digital flower gardens with blooming orchids and curious butterflys, free internet service and cell phone recharging stations. i 've never seen anything like this and am excited to see more and share more...until then--mateo

We'll be sure to fly with EVA again. So now we're just about ready to be on our own. When we land in Bangkok we will make our way to an HI hostel and stayover before heading to Koh Phi Phi. That's the plan at least. Things have been smooth so far and the scenary is exciting. Talk to you later, from BKK--joronda

After revisiting Taipei's airport , I have to agree with you guys that it's really nice. I was in the 1970's inspired, broken-tiled area in September, but did it up right yesterday with a tour of some live orchids, fountains, and Coach purse stores.
