Review: Transiting Jakarta Airport

I wasn't originally going to write about my transit in Jakarta, though it ended up being more of an adventure than I had bargained for.

It was also one of the more challenging transits I've had. I'm a firm believer in always being overly friendly to front-line staff, because I tend to think you get the best results by treating people the way you want to be treated. Well, during this layover I almost lost it. Almost.

My flight from Hong Kong landed at 8:05PM, and my Japan Airlines flight to Tokyo Narita was scheduled to depart at 9:25PM, leaving me 80 minutes to transit. That seems like a comfortable enough connection, though doesn't leave much room for error. I didn't yet have my boarding pass for my flight to Narita, so upon deplaning headed to the transit desk to hopefully get it issued.

A Tale of Two Rivers: New Film Documents Journeys in Iran and Patagonia

And as far as I can recall, I’ve seen Tom Allen in Los Angeles, London, and Portland. The guy gets around!He's also a prolific filmmaker. Tom is returning this year with another big documentary project, this one produced with a partner with whom he undertook major expeditions through Iran and Patagonia—two places that are different in many ways. With only 5 days to go, here's the trailer for the Kickstarter project to fully produce two feature-length films:
