Going East by Westjet.

The plane ride was majorly uneventful and boring and cold. I sat beside my sister, Zoey, in the middle seat on the right side. On my left was a man (or should I say father; his wife and kids occupied the left side parallel to us.) This guy had tattoos on his arms.. Hmm... the other time when I had to sit by a stranger it was on a plane to Taiwan, two summers ago. It was more interesting because I spent a lot of time person-watching him out of the corner of more was more interesting because I spent a lot of time person-watching him out of the corner of my eye. I say interesting, because he looked like a middle-aged business man, but instead of using his laptop to view documents or whatever (there’s no internet allow on flights), he was watching anime. I thought it was pretty strange, just that he didn’t look like he would watch anime. –shrugs- My parents don’t watch cartoons... But haha, now that I think of it, he was on a plane to Taiwan. And the anime was subbed, btw. I couldn’t resist trying to watch because I had nothing to do and he was right beside me. I snatched glimpses (whoo for my covertcy skills!), and it was so weird. Looked like every character was slow-mo and the landscape was basically bleak desert all around. On top of that, it featured samurai, which wouldn’t be weird at all except that the main character was this black samurai with an afro. Wth.

OMG it was quite easy for me to ramble off track >< I’ll try not to do that often XD

So, plane ride. The middle wasn’t fun. The departure and arrival though, cracked me up. I don’t know if I just happened to miss this kind of thing on my other plane trips, but on this Westjet, the announcements were hilarious. You know, stuff like Emergency Procedures? If this guy announces it, yes please! The female flight attendant actually stood in the aisle and mimed it, since Westjet was too small for a video? Anyways, this guys opens up the Emergency Procedures with “For those who haven’t travelled in a vehicle before, this is a seatbelt.” The flight attendant, smiling, showed us a freaking seatbelt- and demonstrated the unbuckling process. And when we landed- “Please remember to take all your belongings, and items; anything left behind will be sold on eBay.” HAHAHA.
