Subject: Post: Uaargh. The long and painful flight is over and we have landed to Amsterdam. Total flight time was around 18 hours including an hour long stop in Bangkok. Luckily I managed to sleep the Taipei-Bangkok four hours flight and half of the thirteen hours Bangkok-Amsterdam flight so they felt at least a bit easier. Still not a fan of long haul flights..In Taiwan we had a day to spend and no plans, so we just walked around the city, shopping and visiting the Taipei 101 skyscraper. Before the flights we had a dinner in a belt sushi restaurant, first of the kind for me. The sushi pieces travel on a belt on small plates in front of you, and you just pick the ones that look good. Afterwards the plates are counted, they have different colors which determine the price.Iryna was considering of sending some soy sauces and oils to home by post, as we couldn’t take them in the checked luggage. Finally we didn’t have time to do that, and she just tried to transport one small 130ml oil bottle in the luggage. The bottle passed Taipei security just fine, but unfortunately it was confiscated by Bangkok transport security, being larger than the allowed 100ml.. :pNow the next destination is Rotterdam. We decided that it would be cheaper to book a rental car and a hotel in Rotterdam than just a hotel in Amsterdam, and neither of us has visited Rotterdam before. Let’s see how that city looks like.
