Bird song

After three plane trips over two days, minimum sleep and befriending strangers, I think I may have this traveling thing down pat. I am currently on my last flight from Amsterdam to London on Air France and they fed me chocolate! Best thing ever as Sam misses chocolate oh so much. First flight, 9 hours to Guangzhou, I sat next to an eighty year old chinese lady who spoke no English and managed work out she had two cats and she hated her husband.


Arriving at Guangzhou, I had a four hour stop over and decided I wanted to make some friends! So after 10mins of chatting to people in the terminal, I had complied a group of 7 people from all over the world heading to London. Most were backpackers that were rather attractive - they had that exotic appeal going on. It's not my fault if my friends were a Brazilian personal trainer and a Spanish swimmer. My French friend managed to get through customs with a lighter in her pocket which was pretty funny since that's illegal.


Traveling from Guangzhou to Amsterdam on a 12 hour flight was painful. They had no movies. But all my friends that I met at the airport were in a playful mood so we made bird sounds in the plane attempting to cause some sort of confusion. We had a good spread of birds between the rows of 34 to 58; all in all, mission successful.
