Making the trip over the Pacific is always interesting, at least in my experience. Flying up the BC and Alaska coastlines we hit a lot of turbulence. Like, plane sometimes dropping in those nifty air streams. It felt like a roller coaster, which I very much enjoy so it wasn't really terrible. However, we had screamers. Every time the plane so much as vibrated there were gasps. The same turbulence hit us while flying parallel to Japan. It was a long 11 hours.
Shanghai to Singapore was much more calm, although we had to make a very slight change in course when we flew beside a raging lightning storm. Now, I love lightning and thunder. So, obviously, I was glued to the window. I also switched my iPod from the "Downtempo" playlist (12am-5am flight, I was wanting to sleep) to a song called Turbulent Rock Anthem by 3LAU and Kap Slap. I had it on repeat. I listened to it four or five times. It makes for a rad storm soundtrack, hahah.
Oh, and the song is a mash-up. If you don't like those, don't click the link. Or, click it anyway and see if I can change your mind.

Yikes, glad you made it to Singapore in one piece. Flights make me nervous at the best of times, so I can only imagine how scary it was (eep).
ReplyDeleteyah, i get nervous flying as well, but having that iPod always makes things a lot better. it's saved me from anxiety too many times to count!
