Selvaraaju’s Pensive

My First Flight February 14, 2008

I was little nervous and excited when I placed my foot on the Thai airways Airbus A380, sophisticated aeroplane.

The atmosphere was awesome and enjoyed the fragrance of the plane. Everything was as clear as crystal and everybody seems to be looking at me as they easily found out that I am traveling for the first time.

I am busy in looking around rather than moving fast inside the plane. Once I got settled down in my seat, I saw the Bangalore Airport through the window. The scene was fabulous. Its a retreat for my eyes.

Take-off was very smooth and I didn’t feel like I was traveling in the plane. I introduce myself to my fellow passenger. Her name is Donna (meaning sweet lady in Chinese). We shared a lot about each other’s country.

She is a social worker and she works for National Hospice Service Program Li Ka Shing Foundation.

she helped me a lot when I told her that it’s my first air travel.

I am a vegetarian and teetotaler and it was hardly tested by the plane food. I ate vejjo food. After 3 hours of journey we landed in Bangkok, city of lights. View of Thailand from plane was amazing.

I enjoyed a lot. I said Good Bye to Donna as I need to catch my connecting to Melbourne.

Here is the pic of Donna & me.

I will write about my Melbourne travel as it’s more exciting than ever.
