FRA - PEK - AKL with Air China

As an engineer I have a rough understanding of aircraft operations and capabilities. So I don't scare easily...
Then came my flight from FRA to AKL via PEK.
My first flight in a Boeing 787.
And approx over Kyushu started a rollercoaster flight as I have never witnessed before... Up, down, left, right, weightlessness, pushed into the seat and so on, for I guess 1 hour.
When I saw the wings bend up and down, I hoped that the Boeing engineers know their stuff...
Around me people were simultaneously praying and puking while I just sat there and gripped my armrests.
I got 4 warm meals on the flight because I was one of the few who actually ate something later :-)
