On the way...

September 14, 2006 10:16 AM Washington D.C. Dulles Airport

I’m currently sitting on the carpeted floor of a nice shiny international wing of Dulles Airport. I am drinking a tall banana coconut frappachino. I don’t know when I’ll get another one of these. I am waiting to board a plane flown by South African Airways to Johannesburg. We also stopover in Senegal. After that, I get on some quite possibly sketchy plane to fly the rest of the journey to Lusaka. In case you have all forgotten, I am headed to Lusaka, the capital city of Zambia. So you know how you’re walking through the airport and you see all these flights to Tokyo and Spain and other fantastic places while you’re stuck going to Winnipeg or some other equally boring place you call home. WELL not this time! I spoke with a nice man who was on my flight from Chicago. We were commenting on the very odd transportation between terminals (yes, they have more than one). If any of you have been to the Wisconsin Dells…they have these “ducks” that are amphibious little boat/bus creations. So I decided after all the pervy smiling and the “after you ms” that I would grace the man with some conversation. Lol. So we started talking and it turns out his wife is from rather close to where I live in Wisconsin. Ha. Small world. He agreed that the shuttles were definitely a lesser form of the ducks. Wow there are a lot of Asians in this wing. Every couple minutes they page them in Japanese or Mandarin and it feels like rez all over again. God I miss wpg. Hahahah there goes the intercom again. Ni how mah.

So I cannot stop writing without first discussing the hotness of the accents. Gorgeous. Mix between British and some other very very hot specimen. One very very cute little girl with semi-corn rows. Quite a few other rouge passengers who I’m sure I will have LOTS to say about after 18 hours on a plane with them. I really must make some friends. I usually never talk, smile, or have any contact with other passengers. However, I think on this trip I will make an exception. Crying Asians twins in a stroller just rolled by. Hilarious. Lots of smart-looking brown girls. Expect the Canada Day pictures to be up on my site soon. I have finally snagged another camera and am capable to shoot and upload once again. Do you think I’m racist? I deffinetly notice race…but I’m not negative about it. I celebrate Asian food (sushi fetish), black culture (there is much that can be learned from their ass-shaking methods). I was talking to Heather last night about the African pavilion. I’ve heard Kenyans’ got the moves. My bum has fallen asleep and I’m sure I have those carpet designs on my legs now. Must make friends.

More later, Catherine
