Sailing on a sea of clouds 30000ft over China

For the first time in my life, I was partly apprehensive to board a plane. While waiting for the boarding call, all I could think of was “I’LL BE ON A GIANT BUS 30000FT IN THE AIR FOR THE NEXT 12 HOURS. WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO?!” Before that flight, the longest I spent inside a plane was 2 hours. I’m really grateful that the flight went smoothly and that I was able to sleep better than I expected. Besides, all the discomforts and misgivings I had with that flight vanished when I finally saw the reason why I flew more than 6000 miles on a 12 hour flight that was delayed for 4 hours.
