Thanks to everyone wishing me a safe flight, it was indeed a safe flight...not so sure if it was pleasant though. I got the aisle seat as I had prayed for and I thought this is great, because now I can go to the toilet without having to disturb people which I hate to do. Didn't occur to me that others wouldn't think twice about disturbing me to go to the toilet. There were 3 passengers I wana talk about. First is an indian who got the window seat. He was rather quiet, but quite a heavy drinker. I think during the course of the flight he downed at least two cans of beer. Now I'm no drinker, but I think that two cans on a commercial flight is a bit too much. I was afraid he would get drunk and high, and start yelling crazy stuff. Happened before on a flight I took to london. Apparently he wasn't travelling alone either. He had another indian friend somewhere in the back of the plane who decided that he was too bored at the back, so he walked to my row to talk to his indian friend. He stood in the aisle and talked to his friend...over me. To make things worse he leaned forward quite a few times to say stuff, and his short shirt would rise, and guess what would be in my face??? YES!! A bunch of disgusting stomach hair. Indians have an insane amount of body hair.
Next is the other passenger. A very polite and helpful chinese. I was thinking it would be very hard to find such a friendly and helpful chinese guy around. I mean, most chinese guys are quite loner type, and won't offer to help unless they were asked. And I think I am still right because it wasn't a guy who was sitting next to me!!! After the plane landed did I realise he was a she!!
Finally, the third passenger was reading the new Harry Potter book across from me, and I could not help resisting, so I read a few sentences between pages as she read. What did I learn on my flight about the book?? Harry Potter gets captured. Dobby Dies.
So that was a rather safe, and interesting flight.
