LEFT VIETNAM LATE ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT. AN EARLY MORNING STOPOVER IN SEOUL FOR FIVE HOURS TO ENJOY THE CLEANEST, MOST EFFICIENT AIRPORT IN THE WORLD AND THEN HOPPED ON THE SHORTEST 747 FLIGHT I'VE EVER BEEN ON TO BEIJING. A LITTLE LIKE FLYING GLASGOW TO LONDON IN A JUMBO - IT DIDN'T SEEM QUITE REALISTIC. I'M NOT COMPLANING AFTER THAT HORRENDOUS FLIGHT TO HO CHI MINH CITY ON THE FOKKAR 70 A MONTH PAST. OFF TO EXPLORE AND WALK THE GREAT WALL OFF CHINA TOMORROW - GOD THAT SOUNDS GREAT. WILL UPDATE WITH FORBIDDEN CITY AND WALL STUFF LATER IN THE WEEK.
