So I am sitting in the Phily airport. bored. .. yeah that about sums it up. I have talked to a few people online but otherwise this is an empty 3 hours for me. At least the airport has free wifi! But so my first flight was a TINY plane and a not so tiny person next to me ;) haha but it wasn't bad. this plane might be another story. my goal is to sleep, we will see if that gets accopmlished.
My favorite thing about airports is.... people watching. Especially right now. I am in the international terminal. So there is about every nationality here that you could imagine. and personal bubbles are a mix of close, non-existant, or big. today mine was destroyed by a couple from what seemed like somewhere in Asia and they sat SO close to me. There was tons of seats. but no. they sat RIGHT NEXT TO ME! I was not very excited about that so I decided to go for a walk instead of sit there.
And then I ate next to someone from north Europe from what I could tell and he was very absorbed in his computer like I was. but when a lady came and sat at his table cause there were none open he was so different. he turned off his music, turned off his computer and sat there and ate quietly until he was done and then left without a word. I found it very .... polite. to take away the technology and not be rude. Even though they did not talk it was a non-verbal signal that said a lot to me.
Well now I am off to sit and listen to my ipod while people watching and maybe read a little.
-- airport people watching.
Hoping you have pleasant travels and pleasant dreams and I look forward to reading about your 1st impressions of Italy.
