Trip to Taipei

I'm temporarily resurrecting the Blog while we are in Taiwan.
We'll see if this works better than emails.

We left Sat at 230 and arrived at hotel in Taipei at 11PM Sunday.
Most of the flight was good but Bill and I were involved trying to help a passenger who had a psychiatric crisis. She and her husband were actually on both of our flights. Things deteriorated when she decided to stand by the exit do of of the plane and refused to sit down.
The flight crew was concerned that she would open the door. We spend a long time trying to calm her down to no avail. The crew had to place her in handcuffs. While in the handcuffs she started to choke a female flight attendant so needed further restraint. We did not have to be in attendance during the the time they restrained her which was a relief for us but we felt very sorry for her and her husband.
When we landed police boarded the plane and we had to talk to them briefly.  They did seem to agree that she needed to go to the hospital, not jail.

On the brighter side we had a warm welcome from Jason's parents and extended family on arrival at the airport in Taipei . It reminded us of our arrival  in Seoul years ago with Flowers, hugs and the royal treatment .
Family escorted us to the hotel which is very nice. It is convenient to public transportation but is not in the most crowded central city so that is nice.
Jason's family has a jammed-packed day planned for us Monday starting with Martha's dress fitting . ( when Martha's mother in law heard that Martha did not bring shoes for the wedding but planned on getting some here she was a little excited. Despite my extensive knowledge of a Mandarin the only part of the conversation that  I could understand was "OH MY GOD!" . It sounded a lot like OMG in English, as a matter of fact I would say it was identical. )

Bill is doing a wonderful job of sleeping now, me not so much which is why I decided to blog a bit.  
More later....
