SSAB - April 7, 2026

Here we are at YVR!
Importing donuts to see how many survive the trip!
How has it been so far? Mostly eventless, though no WIFI on the YWG to YVR flight. Pretzels were good. And free wine and beer on a domestic flight?! (Didn’t have anything.)
Sorry about yesterday’s episode, I was falling asleep while posting it!
Thirteen hours to Beijing, here we go!
