Day one...pau!

After spending most of the day in the air, I've finally gotten around to sorting and re-sizing my photos.

in the air

The one thing i didn't enjoy about the flight was the intermittant turbulance. Things were a little...shaky...Quite frightening. (Photo: Kent Nishimura)

Clouds...far as the eye can see. Awesome. (Photo by: Liam Nishimura)

Once again...Liam is silhouetted by window light. This time however. We had just landed in In-Cheon, Korea. 4:30p KST. (Photo by: Kent Nishimura)

@ In-Cheon Internation airpiort - Korea

Disembarking passengers are silhouetted by in coming window light in a fleeting moment as they head towards the baggage claim and transfer stations. This was the first image i made in Korea. Yay! I've got the silhouette fetish going, as you can see. Time for a two hour layover then its a two hour flight to Beijing. (Photo by: Kent Nishimura)

A man is silhouetted as he walks by "Gate 9" on March 22, 2009 at In-Cheon International Airport. The waiting areas had these huge windows. Really nice light! (Photo: Kent Nishimura)

i sat at "Gate 9" trying desparately to connect to the internet. Here, i sorted photos and waited form Liam, Gywnnelle and my mom to return with food and drinks. (Photo by: Kent Nishimura)

Images from Beijing and landing are fortcoming. It's 5:44am HST and 11:44p.m. in Beijing. Time for me to crash. I'm off to Tieannemann square tomorrow and then its off to the Great Wall on Tuesday. Stay tuned.

Down to the wire...

Like usual i find myself packing for a trip at the last minute.

its typical of me to forget to pack something, so heres to hoping that i don't forget anything this trip.

this blog, of course, will contain photographs from my travels around beijing during the next week or so. stay tuned...i need to find my card reader for some of the pre-trip packing hullabalo that's been going on, but stay tuned...i'll have stuff up.
