Strolling in Hotspring town











After 1st section of acupuncture last satisfaction after the short hike, I came back to Beitou to have another section of acupuncture. I walked uphill until reaching Beitou Museum in this layback warm and sunny afternoon (felt like a cool version of Bali Indonesia with Japanese style architecture). I also spent one hour at the prettiest library in Taiwan within Beitou Park.

1st flight with Qatar Airlines

Image
Enjoying Qatar Airlines free on board WiFi. Feel like a VIP, although feeling blood bleeding when seeing the Dow index tanking... The dinner was chicken rice with white wine. Live post from the sky. Qatar services are the best so far as I have experienced with different airlines. Their planes are new and spacious, and they treat economy customers as good as other airlines business class except the seat size. The fly attendant came back after meal service with champion I requested plus snacks. One friend later told me that Qatar Airways treatment of their employees is absolutely horrid, verging on human rights violations. I didn’t know then.  Even if I knew, I would have to fly with Qatar because “I just want to go home” quoted from movie Jumanji. BTW, it costed me only 40,000 American Airlines frequent flyer miles plus $100 to fly from Amman to IAD.

I rested enough on the train ride, which had AC and power outlet. My seat is in the middle of train section away from the doors at both ends, but could still smell some 2nd hand smoke from time to time. Otherwise, nothing to complaint about the train ride, which was better than the ones I had in India. I used my own data package connection to book the tour during the train ride. The ride was mostly along a canal that is next to the Nile River which cannot be seen from the train. Most foreigners fly or take expensive overnight sleeping train, but I decided to see the views along the ride and successfully bought the ticket counter located on platform 11 at Cairo main train station. The trick was to have local write the ticket info on a piece of paper so non-English speak...

2nd raining day in Amman

Image
It was another raining day so we had breakfast at the Jordanian Royal family favorite Hashim restaurant for the third time, and then killed time in the City Mall. The mail still had plenty of tissue paper for sale. Unknown to us, a county lockdown snowball is coming to us.
