I just landed 2 days ago and the new airport look great and was simple to go trough for what I saw ( I was a little bit tired from my 30 hours trip from Montreal). Those flights are just a pain, especially with a 5 hours waiting in Narita. By the way I was not impressed by Japan Airlines, I liked Korean Airlines a lot more last year.

30 hours, goddamn. Takes me 20-24 hours from Chicago. Its horrible. I think if it was like 8 hours or somthing I might come back to the USA more often but I just dont have the motivation to sit on a plane for a full [censored] day.

Everytime I have played basketball with Thais they hacked the [censored] out of my arms while playing. I think its because I am tall and unstopable to these little thais and that is the only way then can win.

gotta upgrade and get LA/NY-BKK direct by THAI AIRWAYS

What is the going rate these days?

Once I paid $850 round trip (2 stops) chicago-bkk.

Then I flew back to bkk (2 stops) for almost the same price one way.

the quality of the players will vary. at big international schools like ISB there will likely be some very talented players, though as a whole, players will lack the fundamentals that guys from the states will have. those that do play take it as seriously as they can there though, so it can get quite competitive.

ISB's basketball team is pretty weak from what i remember :-)

when i first came in Aug 04, i got a round trip ticket for <$600.. Since then, I guess it depends on price of oil. I think BKK_NY round trip for economy class is about 40K baht. Maybe less.

$600 bucks, damn. Round trip from where?

They have good deal in the BKK Post if you dont mind stopping a few times.

orl-ny-jpn-bkk was $600 roundtrip in aug 04

last year, i paid about $800 for the same trip.

next time i am going to take the bkk-ny direct flight - you have to book EARLY though.

Yes, they have college teams.
