I see different things while traveling.
1: Heathrow Airport Goes Social. I was entertained with how modern Heathrow is. They have computer stations….areas where you could hop online scattered all throughout. Check out the signage above these workstations – and how social it is. They promote that you can go online for video, game, sound, email, Twitter and Facebook.
2: Air Berlin. They had me at the boarding pass. A very attractive flight attendant pictured on the pass. What a pleasant way to set you up. And it doesn’t stop there. Once on board…. you are greeted with even more attractive flight attendants. Male and female. We were on an early plane. As I drank my coffee I perked up… oh… what is that I smell. FRESH HOT BREAD. Yes. I do not jest. And… because they’re so awesome – when you deplane they give you a chocolate… wrapped in red foil. Shaped like a heart. I Heart Air Berlin.
3. Trains in Berlin. I consider us to be experts in public transportation in Europe. We can find our way no matter where we are, and no matter what combination of planes, trains, busses, taxis and mopeds. The funny thing though is that we didn’t account for the “Language Issue”. So here we are – on the train, and we have to remember our train stop. Look at the words – they are a bunch of constanants and a smattering of vowels. I’d get asked – what’s our train stop? And I’d say….. Really Long Word. Starts with H. 29 letters. End in and sounds like “off”. hahaha. We missed I think only one… or maybe we didn’t. It sure added to the adrenalin of looking at train stops and trying to match what was on our map with the train station sign.
Oh what fun.
