"All, At last finished my first flight from Liege to Taipei with stop off in Seoul for fuel, food and sleep. <!--emo&:lol:-->[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]<!--endemo--> Now in Taipei (Taiwan) - last leg had rain at take off and horrendous high level cross winds - over 120 knots from the South West - I'm flying South most of the way so slowed me down quite a bit and was tracking about 10-15 degrees right to keep on course, bit bumpy too. <!--emo&<_<-->[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif[/img]<!--endemo--> Much better landing but could have been a bit lighter. <!--emo&:rolleyes:-->[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]<!--endemo--> Now in the land of the Cloud Gate dance ready for a trip down Snake Alley to watch the snake handlers and to have a drink with some ""bite"". Cobra kebabs anybody? <!--emo&:P-->[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]<!--endemo-->"

Such an encounter would spoil my day in a hurry. <!--emo&:rolleyes:-->[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]<!--endemo--> And no, no python pies either, thank you very much.
