Paul's 747 Story
Looking back May 2002, I can remember when I stepped my foot for the very first time on Qantas Boeing 747 from Los Angeles to Sydney when I was in college, I felt home. I travelled to Australia for one month. I was so super lucky, I was supposed to fly in economy on my return flight back to LA, an agent took my economy ticket and tore it and gave me the new boarding pass…
