The airport experience was good on my way home. I was at Australian customs, and I think it's a thing to pick on people travelling alone, so to those who want to travel alone prepare to be stopped a lot. I was checked at the Australian customs...the usual check. The man checking me was huge...and I think Russian...he had that very strong accent. His first question was "Are you under 18?" I was like... I decided to try a new style at the airport and dress a bit more formally to see if the treatment would be different if I were a dressed like a student. Seems like its the face, so what can I do if I look young?
The flight was quite pleasant...what else can you say about a fly? Exciting, fun, interesting, would all result in the conclusion that something went wrong during the flight, even if it was not fatal. As the plane was landing there was this stewardess who had to go round and ensure that all the safety precautions were in place in case the worst happened, but I think the airline should try and train their staff not to invoke unnecessary fear. Saying things like "Please don't put your bag here in case you have to run," isn't exactly comforting. Where is the faith?
And on a totally different note, the heat is killing me.
