Simple Minds - I travel 1980

On Feburary 6 afternoon, we from Shanghai Pudong airport, take the United States to amount to the United States (Delta) the airliner of airline, through the flight of nearly 14 hours, already at be the same as day of evening 7: 30 (airliner behind schedule) arrive at Atlanta International Airport smoothly, time of American the eastpart part and domestic time difference 13 hours.

Just sit down after Pudong airport boards the plane, a when sit in in front of old lady of year of nearly 7 a period of ten days has turned round to ask me, after whether going to Atlanta namely, fly to other place no longer, after getting affirmative answer, the old person asks the purpose that we go to Atlanta again, I tell her is the son that goes looking to go to school over, "Be GeorgiaTech? , the old person can use the name that speaks the school, make me a little amazed indeed, hear me to reply " be " , the old person continues to say, "My daughter once went to school in that school, the institute works now. " , through chitchat, I am informed an old person to had come to the United States for many times, help daughter brings a child, the child has gone up now elementary school. Visit a daughter before every time, should turn from Japan or Korea the ability after Detroit arrives at Atlanta, go very painstaking. Since after Da Meihang opened the line that Shanghai reachs Atlanta for nothing March last year, much more convenient. Extend when steward when needing the immigration card that fills in with English, my care ground asks the old person needs to deny need help, the old person says self-confidently to be able to fill form, look travel through going to the United States for many times, the old person had the experience that fill out a form not only, also had certain English base.

On the airliner that goes to the United States every time, take the scheduled flight of China International airline mostly before especially, can see a few went up the old person of age, they are accompany of husband and wife a little and row, some are to be headed for alone. In them mostly won‘t English, as a result arrives at the United States to enter a country in the plane when the official asks a question, need to let Chinese translate (it is the Chinese that works over) come over to help. To these old people, I am in feel glad for them while, have trifling concern again. Because have some of old person already year the work is expensive already, the travel in fearing such long-distance is empty a little really and a line procedure after arriving, their body and psychology whether be able to stand, if change my,I ever also had guessed can be how a scene. But those who make me did not think of is, enter in oneself middleaged now, one of had become them, set foot on 10 thousand lis when visit a son itinerary. Just such itinerary to me, be familiar with already unfamiliar, more it is excitement is mixed expect. The basis travel for many times experience, I am clear about the vigor that should keep exuberant in a few days when see a son, it is very necessary that aboard has rested.

Through the broadcast on machine I am informed, this time of airliner has establishment of the recreation on the aircraft with the most advanced course of study of person of the same trade. Of everybody before (namely in front the backside of that individual seat) have independence by computer pilot screen, operate to feel type entirely, the operation is simple, deployed miniature earphone. Open computer, show on screen have the motion picture, TV, music, game, voyage information waits multinomial content a moment. There is subdirectory again in every content multinomial, for instance the film, I was counted roughly have many 20. The language has English, spanish, german, some programs still have Japanese. Had such recreational system, the passenger can spend the time on machine easily. And, below voyage news column, time of speed of height of the ground position that you can see the airlines has flown at any time, flight, flight, ground setting out, destination time, and arrive at destination place to need time, be clear at a glance making a person, know fairly well.

What because now is,travel is off-season, the passenger of 70% is made an appointment with only on the plane, after the airport the seat of 1/3 is compared empty, accordingly almost everybody can take up 3 chairs lay down sleep. Seize the opportunity lay down likely in ten hours process rest, can alleviate greatly undoubtedly viatic exhaustion. In flight process, I besides see a movie, have dinner, still slept of a few hours become aware, the element that adds the mood so, when the plane is about to reach destination, oneself also did not feel fatigue, however very spirit, this also is the feeling that I am like this for the first time.

Atlanta airport is the 2nd big airport of American, if not be a son,tell us ahead of schedule, in had entered a country consign baggage again even after custom, take Train next (or weigh the subway) make an appointment with 6-7 after minute, the Terminal that arrives at terminus gets luggage, we cannot think of to still need to consign a Li He to take the subway to again unexpectedly in airport interior for certain arrive at exit.

Come out to see the son that has waited to develop our smile beck over, it is the happiest hour. The double arm that prep against son opens, follow the instant that the son embraces closely, tear excessive is immediately full orbit. Of half an year of a classics of 3 all previous part, reunite in the United States for the first time, also began us the brigade of this happy and unforgettable United States.

(Because time difference concerns, early woke in the morning, write bit of thing first, the family member that to attention I travel this and friend newspaper are restful. )
