Have you ever noticed in how interesting people in airports ? I always thought the Metro was the very best. Paris, London and NY takes the cake, although Madrid also may seem like a circus. But today I was at the Barajas Airport in the Arrivals hall in T1 for one hour and has been when I've realized what's going on in those rooms full of reunions.
When you're in an airport if you fly are you everything is pretty stressful. Run and get to check-in time, pray your suitcase is overweight, now runs pass the security check and as you take your clothes off to make the process shorter, if you are over 10 minutes before boarding paid 8 euros for a coffee, fight with other passengers to board first and then through the hole on the seats to put your hand bag, fight with the passenger beside the arm rests, and the behind to stop you with knees. Oops, I'm going to mess and I hated to travel ....
But I'm in a good mood today I noticed how well, and l sociological and anthropological laboratory it seems the airport . I swear that everything that follows is true and seen today in Barajas
A group of about 50 Chinese (arriving in Beijing) speak loudly. Some sit on benches, others on the ground, some are given pass í cough while still speak loudly. Many eat, his mouth open. Some picks his nose as if I had in gold. I do not know they do here or why not make off to take pictures at the Cibeles or the bear and the tree ...
The first to go are those who have flown first . Have you noticed that these people always comes fresh as a daisy? If it appears to have changed clothes. And what surprises me most is not usually carry much luggage they can carry excess weight of luggage without paying!
Waiting for me there a father, two teenage daughters and a son , perhaps the most with 20, come to pick up his cousin in the U.S.. The children ask "" Dad, you recognize it? "and split with laughter when he says no. Finally, there is the premium and embrace the 4 under the watchful eye of father, I think I seen a crybaby, but mostly big smiles. A nice reunion, yes sir.
A gorgeous aunt with another rare to have white hair almost as much ink. There are few passionate kisses heated to more than one.
South American A man approaches a red jacket that came logically to a minor. Another long hug while the red jacket try to separate them so that you sign some papers, I guess to confirm the "delivery" without taking into account the sentimental moment.
Two girls looking Philippines, the two tiny , as children of 9 years, but faced having lived for many years and even more misery, wear their best galas, so much so that its appearance gives a comic touch, almost grotesque.
Pilot and flight attendants of U.S. Airways have painted 100% American. Captain wearing the cap, the typical Rayban aviator's leather jacket, and the guys who are expecting their first U.S. laugh and commented "looks what Captain pints."
The Thai Airways flight attendants seem mises a beauty contest, or divas of those who saw you as forgiving life. After looking at U.S. Airways, the truth is that I understand they have this big ego.
Another American family with two small children expected grandfather, and when the children cry out " grandfather abuelooo" and pounce on him making a tackle that almost grave. Cry the three as there is even a volunteer to keep pushing his luggage cart.
And speaking of bags, I see at least two couples in which a woman l pushes the cart filled to the brim with suitcases, and her husband walk quietly beside him, hands in his pockets.
also appears the fifties great shift, pushing his cart full of Louis Vitton luggage (would not surprise me that they were fakes), with sunglasses on (It is 8 am) and husband súperpijo at his side.
their fifties, but those who believe that the return to be 18 years old and great body (if they ever did), go talking too loud, laughing in a way labored, as if to say " here we are and we're also great " with its tight tops, short skirts and knee-high boots, still does 25 degrees. Someone has told them that they are now 40 of the 20 before, and calculating then deduced that the 50 of today are like the 30 before .
A couple of men walk through the room without a break, at a slow pace, and dragging their feet and make me nervous, too close to people in general and me in particular. At first I thought that they were heavy but now I think are pickpockets looking to shift clueless.
A small group of hippies that seems to come from Nepal (Nepal do not know why, but put his hand into the fire), very dark, Young, dreadlocked, and very happy .
The classic businessman stuck to your phone, connects a call with another and another and another. All I need to shout " Sell! Sell! "
And of course you can not miss the classic family with his dog waiting for someone very dear because the animal has received a lot of parties and movements tail almost sickening.
then has left the world's most impressive guy, Mr. A of course, looked at me, I smiled, kissed me, and we run away.
