Lesson 9

Flying And Travel
飛行機と旅行

I do not like traveling by plane because I usually become nauseous. Though I like it when the plane is just at the right altitude so you can see the view below; the little streets with little cars and little people. It really puts things in perspective! I love searching for my home as I fly over it, and I love imagining what all the little people are doing as they scurry on in the little rat race called life down below. I also try to imagine the people on planes flying above me, where they are going, and who they are going to meet.

The worst flight I was ever on was, not surprisingly, No Crash Airlines. The landing was horrible. Not to mention all the turbulence during the flight. It felt like I was riding in a jeepney which hit every bump along the road. There was a thunder storm and I could see the lightning flashing right underneath my window. However, the trip was worth it because of the experience and the people that I met.
