It's all about the airport

I knew it聮s a weird thing, but I聮m kinda excited to stand alone in the airport. Nothing to do, just let my view lives among people聮s activities. Don聮t you know? It聮s like crying when raining, there聮s no one knows you聮re crying. In the airport, there聮s no one care what you聮ve been doing. All of them busy to wait their departure, wait their family arrives, looking for their luggage, and take care their children.

Well, actually, it聮s not a big reason why airport was one of my favorite places. When I was in the airport, I just thinking that life is all about come and leaving, nothing聮s more. And when you聮re standing alone in the airport, you can see life in many sides. Who聮s coming with smile, who聮s leaving with tears, who聮s waiting in vain, or even who聮s leaving with no one says goodbye to him or her.

Then, I know it eventually, I am not the only one who lets someone go, please someone come, or begging someone stay.

P.S.
Anyway, if there's anyone who kindly to exchange blog address, I'll be so glad. This's one of my posts in my blog. (dutari-sitorus.blogspot.com)

I enjoy airports because they get me places quick.

But for me these last 3 days have been about airports, customs, and First Class bus stations in Southern Mexico. Cancun Airport to Chetumal Mexico. Then employees picked me up and crossed the border into Belize.

Had a blast, I got to people watch, Eat like a king and the best part is I am learning more Spanish I can speak better. I had tons of people to practice my Spanish with.

Life rocks.

In Belgium there was actually a tv program on this topic, called "Hello, Goodbye". The presenter just walked up to random people in the departure hall or people who were waiting for their loved ones at arrivals. He filmed some pretty gripping stories about people moving abroad, family reunions, grandparents waiting for their children and adoptive grandchildren, internet brides face to face with their husband for the first time, business men who spend half their professional airplanes,...

And from then on a caught myself looking at people in airports and wondering about their story.
