6/2 - Earthquake
It's a bit after 3pm in Taipei, and we're in the airport's private business club. We pleaded for a few free minutes of access, so here it goes.
We left Bangkok successfully yesterday and sat a few rows behind Miss Bolivia (of the Miss Universe contest). We didn't have to guess where she was from as she was still wearing the sash.
We somehow got to a hotel last night without using much English. Just as we were going to turn out the light to retire, a strong earthquake (magnitude of at least 5.6) shook northern Taiwan. It was quite a ride on the 5th floor of the Taoyuan Holiday Hotel.
We checked out the tallest building in the world this morning (Taipei 101) and are leaving shortly for LAX (and looking forward to China Air service!).
Got to go...

Welcome back to the United States, ambassadors Ken and Steve!
Still hoping for a summary entry!
Are you still heading back to Arizona, or trapped in Asia.
How about that sash on the airplane, did you follow that instead of going home, just curious about your arival back home or are you still living under the stars.
