A nice surprise !.   An even &#8216;better&#8217; surprise was that this particular Delta flight didn&#8217;t have 110V AC plugs in econmy.. that meant that I couldn&#8217;t work the whole way.. instead I read, meditated, slept.. and watched a couple of movies.. &#8216;Midnight in Paris&#8217; by Woody Allen (cute ) , 8 TED talks, a documentary on Kurt Cobain and .. I must confess..  Juno..which I have watched 5 times . This is one of my favorite movies for reasons I can&#8217;t quite explain. I watched it carefully to figure out why I like it so much.. and I think it&#8217;s because it&#8217;s the best portrayal of  a parents unconditional love of their kid.. .. I also like all of the off-tune singing. <\/p>\n<p>I came out of my movie coma long enough to look outside and see the polar ice cap&#8230;. a view that is amazingly exciting in the most boring way imaginable. i watched for about 30 minutes without as much as an identifiable feature.. how cool\/uncool is that ? <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/083108\/dec2611b\/62d493a9.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>We landed about 7.. but i took me more than an hour to get to the hotel. This hotel is in Pudong part of Shanghai &#8230; bit too far away fro the river to walk at night.. I&#8217;ve opted to stay hear.. catch up on the work I missed during travel.. and get some much needed sleep.<br \/>\nfor that reason.. I don&#8217;t have much in the way of cool pictures to share.. .. Here&#8217;s the view from my room.. note the fancy multi color LED&#8217;s everywhere.. just like my headband. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/083108\/dec2611b\/9bb8f4b6.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Ahhh. one more thing..
