Back Home

I arrived yesterday afternoon from Beijing, with a connection at Tokyo's Narita airport. It's cold and gray in Houston today.

Anyway, here are some pictures from this latest trip:

1. Dinner
The team took us for dinner on Thursday evening at a fancy restaurant. There was a lot of food on the table. I was asked if I could recognize this particular plate and I couldn't until I took a close look.

The plate consisted of meatballs and scorpions. I tasted the meatball and it was good. I was asked to try the scorpions. I took one and tried it. The texture was like sand and I couldn't finish nor swallow it. So here it is:



2. Customs at Beijing Airport


3. Beijing airport: waiting for my connection to Tokyo


4. One of the duty-free shops at the Narita airport


5. This was the NWA Airbus that I took from Beijing to Tokyo.


6. The flight to Houston was delayed because the plane was coming from Newark was delayed due to the winter storms in the US east coast.


7. At the arrival area in Houston
