     My life superpower is I can fall asleep immediately on boarding any plane, in any class of travel, and I can sleep uninterrupted until I arrive. Whether it’s 5 hours or 15. Without drugs. Probably natural narcolepsy.

     I would be a suitable candidate for cryosleep to space

     I see the Singapore Airlines crew boarding the plane (before passengers do), and already my brain is codeswitching to start talking in Singaporean English and Singlish (not always the same).

     Accent, cadence is different from American English. You can learn about it in this video

     I wouldn’t say it’s my natural accent as I’ve been very Americanized since I was a kid, but I definitely switch between both easily

     My film survived!!!

     (Requested for a hand check, agents were very friendly and accommodating)

     This is at SFO international terminal.

     The film guard bags are useless, new scanners are now super powerful and also the agents take it out of the bag anyway (so clear bags are better)

     Now to brush up on whether I can say all that in Indonesian in a few days too (tho it’ll be a much smaller amount of film so maybe not too terrible if not)

     First hour of 20 hours of travel before I get to eat delicious food, enjoy tropical weather and see my loved ones.

     I’ve decided my first meal when I arrive will be ‘zi char’. Zi char is 煮炒, also known as ‘dai pai dong’ in Hong Kong, the type of Chinese high heat cooking that warms the hearts of pyromaniacs.

     Until then, there’s TSA, airport experiences, airplane food (thankfully not terrible on Singapore Airlines), and travel anxiety (I hate covid-era travel, obviously)
