Amsterdam.
I have been sitting here at Schiphol Airport for a couple of hours now. I was to believe my flight was leaving here at 10:00 AM, 3 AM Chicago time, but for some unknown reason, my flight leaves at noon. What is going through my head now is somewhat of a mixed feeling. Just earlier today, I was sitting at home with my parents, eating some pho and some goi ga, now I'm in another continent half way across the world, just two hours away from my final destination.
Walking through Schiphol, I get a few gazes and glances here and there--perhaps because of the lack of many Asian folks. I've seen about five to six total. Other than that, the people here seem nice. I went to a coffee shop earlier, and people watched. In a way, I'm watching life pass through my eyes, here in Amsterdam, despite me being only in an airport. They seem to enjoy life. Walking through the airport in Chicago's O'hare Int'l airport, you get a lot of tense looking folks, worried about missing their flight, having all their luggage. The folks here, the ones I've seen seem to be a lot more laid back, as they sip on their coffees, puff their cigarettes, and laugh the time away.
