Spectator Sport: Airport

Spectator Sport: Airport

Finally, I have arrived to the exorbitance airport, putting my heavy luggage on the luggage cart and pushing it through the clear door. I was amazed to see a large crowd of various color hair. It was quite strange because I usually don’t see this much people in the airport. I had an apprehensive feeling, that I wasnt going to board the plane on time. I quickly find my check-in line and waited in a long zigzag line, in quite a long time I finally reach the counter. Not to wasted time I put my luggage on to the weighting conveyer as usual. I look up to see the airhostess, she welcome me with a nice word and a smile. After the process was done, I watched my luggage go down the conveyer line that seems for ever until it reached to a large silvery machine with a rubber strap hanging down from the entrance, my bang went inside and that was the last time I saw my luggage before I get to my destination.

Walking to the inner side of this large structure is the registration and scanner; again I saw a long line waiting to go inside, now I learned that they just change the scanner and there was limited scanner that could be use. While I was daydreaming, looking around, I saw many grandiose and historical statues everywhere I look, and listening to others colloquail talk, I smelled something that smelled good and fresh. The family in front was ravenously consuming a dozen of sandwich that they wish to eat inside but was prohibit. That made me realizes that I also need to check my bag for any food and drink. Luckily I found nothing in my bag so I went to the registration. It was quite fast after all.

Here I am in front of this docile large metallic bottle-like structure, I heard people asking what is this including me, later I learned that it is a new kind of scanner. When I reach the front of the line I was forced to but my bag of to the scanner and other thing that contains metal. And there it was the bottle like scanner, and I stepped inside. Then I felt like spinning but it wasn’t me it’s the bottle, after some few rounds of turning I was finally out of the monstrous thing. Without realizing I was left with 20 minutes before departure. So I ran off to my plane for departure.
