Continuation of the Long Voyage



July 6th, 2008


It's midnight! Well, I'll skip the part where I'm taking the shower and anything, and I'll go directly to the airport: "Tocumen International Airport". Well, I was in the airport and I was wondering if I will be the first person to get there. Later, I found that the answer was "no", since my friend, Susy, and my other friend, Dai-kun, were already there. My two professors were also there. So, I wait... and wait... and wait some more. Soon, more and more people were coming. Then, we check in, pass the migration, and stuffs. Soon, we were already in the airplane.


Our flight passed through several countries: our first stop was Costa Rica. We didn't had to change planes; more people came to the plane, and off we go: straight to Salvador. Several hours have already passed since my departure. We waited for almost seven hours in Salvador International Airport. In the meantime, we (Kika, ElyWu, Liken, and Riry-Hime*me*) went shopping in the airport, food mainly. It was incredible; stuffs in Salvador weren't expensive at all. We knew we could find cheap videogames in there. Unfortunately we couldn't get out of the airport, because if we could, we will shop till drop! So, we wait for almost seven hours, and it doesn't seem like those movies that when you've got to wait, and "Presto", it's all done. No, it isn't. We really wait. Some of my friends were already sleeping, sleeping on those hard, not-good-to-sleep-on chairs!


We were rejoicing when the announcer announce that we could start boarding the plane. This time, our flight was going to be almost six hours long, not two hours like the one from Panama to Salvador, so the chairs were more confortable. So, we fly away above the sky... Everybody(including me) was feeling extremely unconfortable and freezing cold. The only thing that cheer me up was the Duty Free shopping. I bought a box of chocolates, and I was happy that I had some chocolate in my stomache, since I'm a chocolate lover (I can't live without chocolate).


And so, when we were arriving to Canada, the beautiful lights of the city enchanted me. Totally different from Panama. I haven't seen such a night view since my trip three years ago to China. That was so charming! I was in awe! When we arrived to the airport, it was already midnight the other day: July 7th.
