Still recovering from jet lag, 4 in the morning seems to be my new wake up call. Reflecting on the amazing experience that is flying to Australia. Ordering vegetarian food means that you eat types of noodles, tofu and mushrooms never tasted before. Stopping off in China at Guangzhou, a mega city of 18-19 million people I have never heard of and maybe most people in the UK, (do we really know anything about China)? is mindblowing. Flying in you could see identical tower blocks stretching into the horizon, it felt similar to the experience of cut and paste when creating a landscape in a video game. The airport is huge and amazingly functional and the Southern China Lounge is a must – a shower and food and a massage chair – not to mention the toilets is essential after an 8-hour flight with another 10 hours to go! The cameras on the outside of the plan provide extraordinary views, it would be great if all planes had this. to screens - Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere – a moving portrayal of creative confusion. Nitram – a devastatingly unsettling portrayal. Train Dreams – a mournful moment in American history. Inside Out – an insightful and beautiful insight.
