Greetings from Obama-land

Today is my 3rd day in here Cincinnati, Ohio since touching down on Thurday. Long flight from KUL, transitting at HKG - LA - ATL before finally hitting CVG, almost 24 hours on the plane.

Had a great time in HKG Int Airport, where I spent like 2 hours in the Cathay Pacific Business Lounge, during transit. Huge lounge they have there, so unlike the one in KLIA. I took my bath there, getting ready for another long flight to LA, for like 12 hours.











Touched down in Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Intl Airport at about 10:30am, Thurs. Weather was cold like anything, which I later learned that it was one of those unusual winter days in Cincinnati, where temperature went down to almost -10 degrees celcius. There was snow storm earlier and the whole Cincinnati seems to be covered in a thick layer of white cream, looking down from the plane.

Checked in to the hotel and was preparing to catch some sleep, having a hard time trying to adapt to the time zone difference here. Anyway, that was not to be, as I received a call from the DHL office here, requiring me to report for work immediately. Came back to hotel at quarter past midnight. Damn! I looked like a zombie with red watery eyes. The extremely cold weather was certainly not helping.

Check out some of the pics below
