My Voyage Part 1

FIRST OFF, waking up at 2:30am after going to sleep at 1am is not cool at all. But I was like shit whatever, I'll just pass out on the plane. I go thru security and being the smartass that I am, Joel gave me a bottle of Jack Daniels and I put it in my carry on and of COURSE it fucking got confiscated. If anything, JD keeps people from wanting to blow things up. So then I'm chillin at the Philly airport, all's good, nope wait shit 1.5 hour delay. 6:30am flight turns into 8am. (I had to get there 2 hours early b/c international flight). No big deal, I'm Jack Daniel-less, 1 less deck less (had to give it away along w/ some toiletries b/c my bag was overweight by 5 pounds), and I'm worried I'm going to miss my connection in Chicago.



Get on plane, it's awesome there's like 10 people on it, I get my own row, lift off, i pass out, wake up, we're landing. 9:20am. I have to board the next plane at 9:35am. I run to my gate... well more like hobbling w/ my 15lb backpack full of camera gear, so yes, i am a hobbling hobbit at this point. Get there, and what do you know... fucking flight gets canceled and rescheduled for tomorrow at 8am. MUTHERFUCKER! This is not the worst part. I then see a line of about 80 people all on the same flight, some are getting redirected to Hong Kong or Beijing then catchign anothing connector to Shanghai but then only getting there 2 horus earlier than if staying in Chicago for the night. So I wait and wait in line.... 2 hours go by. YUP, 2 hours. 11:35... my turn, get my new tickets, get a room voucher and dinner whatever voucher. Regency Hyatt ... i better have hookers in my bed for waiting this whole fucking time for this. Nice hotel though.






Anyway, THAT whole shit sucked. Then of course even though this is some banger hotel, wifi is not free. I am paying $10 for this momento. Then i tried to phone home on a pay phone and it ate my $2 and wouldn't dial home. I even tried calling collect like CarrotTop told me but didn't work bc my family thought they were telemarketers hahaha. So I spent the day walking around the city, kind of bland, lame, not my steeze. Didn't see a single skater but I could be in the wrong area. I know J Kalis is shredding around here somewhere... anyway here are some flics of the city.











And of courses there's like mad shopping streets but what wanker is goign to take a flic of that and post it, not i said i. speaking of, i spent all day trying to find some place that sells shitty $5 timex watches since idont' have a phone no more i can't tell the time, but Rite Aid doesn't seem to exist in this licks of the world. And allt he other watches i saw were straight up rob me of my money and scalping me prices aka $100+ for some dookie watch that would just blow into a bajillion pieces when i fall trying a grasshopper ninja chipper flip.

peace, keep it updated tomorrow if china lets me get on google. oh wait.... i'll be spending ALL day tomrrow on a plane. get on plane: 8am Monday. get off plane: 11:30pm Tuesday. 14 hour, let's do this babayyyyy!!! aye babayyY!!!!

and the adventure continues..
