Rejuvenation

The asians know how to travel. The ten hour flight between Honolulu and Taipei was bearable only through the service of the (rather cute) flight crew aboard China Airlines. Complementary breakfast, snacks/bevarages, and lunch were great, not to mention the free wine.
After landing, I had to find my way from the international airport to downtown(ish) Taipei some 25 miles away. A bus ride, taxi ride, and a walk through the rain found me my destination, the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics (ASIAA).
They've shacked me in a dormitory on a different campus location not far away from the offices. Four of us will share a six person room. I crashed hard last night, sleeping from probably around 7pm to 8am this morning.
Though I had the craziest dream last night. Two friends (whom now i realize I don't know) and I pissed off some guy with a cowboy hat because we were on his property. He captured one of my friends as me and the other guy took off running. I noticed that every step I took I was getting higher and higher off the ground. I was lucid dreaming! So I jumped into the air and took off flying, snagged my friend from the guy in the cowboy hat and took to the air.
The lucidity didn't last long as I found I awoke. But here's the twist; I rolled out of bed with some girl (again, whom I've never met in person) to find my friends chatting. I discovered later as I awoke in the dorm room that I had awoken from the lucid dream into another dream! So I was dreaming inside my dream if at all possible.
Anyway getting back into a science mindset will be nice. Only research this week, we start reducing data next week.
