So I originally gave this a rating of 5 and that was pretty damn harsh given it is actually not that bad. Mostly it is a mediocre black tea but the aftertaste is nice and mapley. Not a bad cup to sip on as I wait for my flight.
On a completely unrelated note, I am sitting next to a table and a plug by my gate at the airport. Despite there being seats everywhere, a young boy came and sat on the other side of the table. He then proceeded to lay out all the books he had in his backpack in a row and plug in his iphone to charge. Then, after playing with a motorized car for a bit, he would pick up the different books and go “HA” and read for a minute and then put it back down. After a while, he started talking to me but he was speaking French and I had to tell him I didn’t understand. He then proceeded to keep talking at me anyways. The moral of the story: children are pretty entertaining.
So are cab drivers. Mine decided to blare pretty intense Bollywood music the whole way to the airport. And if that wasn’t enough, he then proceeded to sing along. All in all, it has been a pretty interesting day so far.
People-watching while traveling is my favourite people-watching.
Haha at least your cab driver was happy! I’d take that over a curmudgeonly fart any day. Have fun in Florida!
People watching and meeting people at airports or trains can be lots of fun and can range from interesting, amusing to disturbing.
Amusing: watching a tiny young thing throw back a 375 ml bottle of wine in the security line up when the carry on reg changed in Italy.
Having a middle aged man volunteer to go over my Italian grammer exercises. He was in for a long trip. Naples to Trieste.
Interesting meeting journalists and editors from Russia and the middle east.
Meeting someone who worked in rescue for the coast guard.
Meeting the consular general from Bolivia and being proud of myself that I could keep up in Spanish despite not really using the language in a while.
Bollywood music can be quite fun. I’m subjected to hours of it at my friends house. I still remember watching the children dance in India. I don’t know if I ever successfully got the hip shake down but th four year old girls were experts at it;)
