Let’s face it, I just am not a big city guy. Especially the huge, modern mega-cities. They intimidate me. Too crowded, too fast moving, too much glass and steel. Changing planes inĀ theirĀ airports is as close as I get.
Now don’t get me started on airlines. Thanks to Delta Airlines I was stuck in Bangkok’s airport for 24 hours last year while trying to get to Calcutta, India, and managed a few decent photos while working through my jet lag and reflecting on the arrogance of airlines. You can read my rant here.
I know I miss a lot so I’ll be checking out your posts at Jake’s Sunday Post:Ā Architecture.

19 Nov 2012Actually it arrived with me, though I was told it would arrive a day later. Then it took another day of Indian bureaucracy and red tape to get it!

19 Nov 2012when life seems to pile one frustration on top of the next, i often ‘break’ into a fit of laughter.. it’s laugh or get really really angry, and the latter doesn’t agree with me too much! or else, like a typical woman, i finally break and cry!

23 Nov 2012Great perspective of the airport. I don’t remember the Bangkok airport looking like this, but then again we were running and rushing to catch our flight.
fotograffer
19 Dec 2012Rushing to catch a flight is always better than being stuck in an airport. š
