Taiwan Airport

So I'm on my way. The day I've counted down too all summer, but thought would never come. well....it's here! I have a 3 hour lay over in Taiwan, then a 3 1/2 hour flight to Bangkok. I slept through like 2/3 the 12 or 13 hours flight from LAX to here so that was wonderful. This is me before I left LAX. Backpack was successfully underwaight by 2.5 kilograms. Origionally I had booked a middle seat...which would have sucked. But right before I got to the ticket counter and aisle seat opened up near the emergency exit. So not only did i have an aisle, but I had at least 4 ft of leg room in front of me and no one was in the seat next to me. I did well :) I also met a really cute LDS couple on the plane and we talked for awhile, they're going to Bali.

FYI: Air China, and China Air....totally different airlines, in totally different terminals. I found that one out the hard way.
Since landing I've successfully found my terminal, almost walked into the boys bathroom, found and interesting toilet and set off an alarm....as if I didn't already stand out enough. In the girls bathroom there were toilets, like the one below. They were built into the ground and I'm assuming it is so that we can stand and pee as well? Luckily there were also normal toilets, so I used that but if i have to go again I think I'll give it a shot. When in Rome (or Taiwan), right? Then I preceeded to push a button that I thought would flush the toilet but instead set off a really high pitched alarm sounds, luckily it went off immediately after I took my finger off it, as it I don't already draw enough attention to myself with bright orange hair? well I'm in for adventures thats for sure.
