The littlest things can amuse you when traveling. Sitting in a terminal in London Heathrow, awaiting a flight to Lisbon, overhearing the simplest phrases bring a smile to my face. The two little girls talking about the toilet or “lou” sound as if they are having a proper discussion on politics.. I dunno why the British accent makes everything sound so sophisticated.
Flying in with British Airways, it all became real. Flying over London, seeing the Thames, watching people actually drive on the wrong side of the road; it’s like I imagined but really different at the same time. I guess I can’t really tell yet tho. Never judge a city by its airport. LHR is stupid big tho and ridiculously drawn out. So much so that they recommend two hours for connecting flights! Why? Because you need to go back thru security, ride a bus to a new terminal, walk 10 mins to the cluster of gates 20-30, find your gate number (24), find your sub-gate (24D), then get on a bus to take you to your plane.
At least BA is a nice airline. Free drinks, free meals, and courteous people who give you eyeshades, toothbrush and even socks to walk around the plane in. Some fat-cats even have beds on that plane. Passing out while watching the Wire was good enough for me, even if I only got a few hours of sleep.
Of course I’m keeping the socks
