No I am on my way to Los Angeles.

Behind me a white American and white south African are discussing racism in their countries. The American is amusing.

I'm surprised.  I thought the pricing software was so good these days that flights were always packed.

On the longer leg of my flight to bangkok I had an entire 4 seat section to myself.
Just a shame the tvs can't be seen from down there.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

US observation #1: Christmas decorations are "pretty" and "cute", not a generally agreed temporary sanctioning of bad taste and vulgarity.

Are they bigger over there or just regular size?

Are the decorations more or less epic than the ones in Brighton 2012?

Probably just more of them.

Not that much bigger but definitely much more of them. All the usual interior decoration seems to have been replaced by Christmas equivalents.
The Christmas tree is completely stuffed with hundreds of lights. I commented that it was a well decorated tree, hoping it wouldn't sound too cynical.  Everyone just stared at me, then said they had only put the lights up and most of the stuff is still in boxes. I'm afraid they are serious about it.

No tree for me. Bah, humbug.

And yeah, lights is only the beginning.
