Sneak Previews and Main Features?

You know, something they warn us is that when you start seeing these places, and it becomes personal to you, it changes how you perceive the news. It’s something to think about. On CNN.com, we graze over the news that doesn’t apply to us or affect us. Well, in Kuala Lampur, there was a shooting at the airport. It doesn’t make headlines and it doesn’t even make top news. Understandable. Yet, it’s crazy to think just a couple weeks ago, Hallie and I were sitting there eating our McDonalds cheeseburgers watching silly commercials and waiting for our delayed plane. The same plane that had a extra passenger on it, accounted for. It’s not by any means a large airport, and when they say someone was shot at the cash exchange, it’s easy to say it’s nearby. 6 people were shot. Wow. Well, considering I arrive in Japan in 4 hours, I should probably get some sleep. So I’ll have to leave it at that. Up next? Beijing and Shanghai. I fell in love with one, disappointed with the other. Which is which? You’ll have to wait, I suppose. And a mystery to both of us: Tokyo, Hiroshima, Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe. Let's cross our fingers and see what happens!
