Happy Christmas everyone, I’m at 29000 feet on a flight to Hong Kong after a mini version of planes, trains and automobiles and including cancelled planes and taxis to different airports. I’m struck by honestly what a miracle it is that we can travel thousands of miles at hundreds of MPH and have okay internet access and communicate. I don’t think people quite realise how delicate all of the technology is now and how easily it could fail if we don’t all look after each other. I hope you all have a brilliant Christmas and new year!
- BiraIgnacio 10mo agoAll the best, take care!
- Loughla 10mo agoOh man, I love flying over the Pacific Ocean (during the day). There's just so much nothing but water. It's kind of astounding.
- hammock 10mo agoTry a cruise with at least one sea day
- mh- 10mo agoSeconding this. If you're into it, it's pretty awe-inspiring to see open water all the way to the horizon, 360°.
- onion2k 10mo agoFor a six foot tall person the horizon at sea level is only 3 miles away. You could get that experience on a big lake if it's more than six miles square.
- NetMageSCW 10mo agoIf you think that’s the same experience I’m guessing you haven’t done it. Unfortunately my ocean voyage (from Okinawa to California) was when I was too young to remember much.
- etrautmann 10mo agoThis same experience on an ice sheet is equally surreal and fascinating.
- tsoukase 10mo agoA cruise on the Pacific is felt like being a bug on a huge cup of sea water. During the night the moon feels like an arm length away.
