I flew from Asia to Europe. today.
And as usual, I noticed things.
First, there was an ashtray built into the bathroom door.
How old are these airplanes?
And did people really used to smoke in the bathroom?!
Second, the airsickness bag has a new name.
This is what Turkish Airlines is calling it:
I like the old name: it’s more colorful and it tells you what you can do with the bag.
And if you really want a colorful name, I can recommend the American slang, “barf bag.”
Third, English is still the language of travel.
No matter which airport or where the person is originally from, if a stranger is talking to a stranger, it’s in English.
when you are Tel something i believe it because you are really good teacher
Hi!!!How cute!!
I’ m reading your comments and keep smiling!!!
The little “things” of travel!!!
How amusing!!
Welcome back to Europe!!
I think that’s “another planet”, but you’re the traveler, you know better…
I suppose Malta is a good/proper place to …help you adjusting again… A good “bridge” between two civilizations!!
Anyway, thank you that you always get us with you at your travels!!
And ….welcome home!!!

A time where smoking was allow in all place.
On the train there were non-smoking carriages but for the plane just a curtain did the separation. 🤔
Hi Ryan, nice to see you in Europe , again!
I don’t know what to say about this unusual words ashtray, airsickness bag…
I saw you wandering on Internet, looking for students ,saying ” I’m not normal” , wonder…why??? Perhaps to making people to pay attention…
I still look for to create a conditioned reflex between the nervous memory brain center and speaking brain muscle center to get down the English words on our lips…but it miss me a. strong reward, however I think to choose between a coffee or a piece of chocolate..but the sweets , as you know make us depends..Ha, ha…
