This Was Our First Time on EVA

Day 146 - We've still some time remaining in Kuala Lumpur as our return flight is a week from the upcoming Monday. Jay and I are currently fifteen hours ahead of Vancouver but we'll be in the air for fifteen and a half hours plus an additional three-hours in Taipei during a transfer. No matter how much or often we fly, the size of the Pacific Ocean never fails to impress, especially when sitting by the toilets a tiny, economy seat.



There is no possible way in which we could calculate how many flights we've taken nor the number of air miles travelled during our lives. I'm sure it's many many times the average.

Thankfully for us, aviation is a cut-throat industry with players which come and go. Deregulation and competition have kept ticket prices nearly the same as they were in the 80s. In fact, due to rise of Asian economies, the cost of flying over the Pacific Ocean is cheaper than it has ever been.
