The Flight

04.00 AM 10.6 kilometres above the earth between Manado and Koror (wherever they are), I think we are on a path to pass by the east coast of Australia. The seat back television keeps us in touch with the flight path, just noticed that the equator is not too far away, I've never been across the equator and apparently “equator virgins” get stripped and covered in goose fat, that should be fun!
After we got to the cruising altitude (or at least I think we were there), the seatbelt sign was still on and I was needing a pee, I asked this Chinese Air Hostess when the light would be switched off as I was needing to go to the toilet, she said it was ok just to go but to be careful. She followed me up the plane saying (say this in a Chinese accent) “it can be dangerous in toilet, sometimes on this rote airplane falls from sky due to air pockets and it possible to hit head on roof, you no want to be in toilet when that happens. “ I did point out that if that happened the best place might be the toilet 'cos I'd probably have an accident – dont think she got the joke.
We've been fed, watered and are now occupying ourselves with movies and books.6 hours 24 mins to go
