December 29th, 10 PM. My dad and have been waiting at JFK for two hours, wondering if we can get on the last flight to LA that night. The recent blizzard that swept through the area left many passengers stuck in the airport for days. Thankfully, we were lucky enough to get seats so I wouldn’t have to spend my birthday in the airport!

JFK has a lounge sort of area with lots of iPads for people to play games on. Pretty nifty.

With tons of people stranded in the airport, there were some cots laid out for people to use.

The snow was piling a good 10 feet high as they cleared the runways!

It snowed at least two feet right there. I sort of miss this weather.

Coming down from a visit to Ngong Ping Village, I wasn’t sure the bus would make it at times.

Dolphins can do some nifty tricks! (Here are some more videos from before.) They’d be awesome pets.

Those shiny flecks are all flying fish – swarms of them! There must be thousands there.

Hungry bull

It’s been a long 3 1/2 days, so here’s a quick video post. When I went up to Ngong Ping Village in Hong Kong, I was walking over to the temple when I came across this bull grazing. He was SO close – the video doesn’t do it justice. I was intimidated and very watchful of him, in case he decided to run one of us over. But hey, it seems he’s really into his food.
