Arrival Area
Last Friday, I accompanied my cousin to the airport. His mom was coming home from Oman. She’s only on vacation and will be going back aftr a few weeks. We got there early…around 1.5hrs too early. I think my cousin was excited. ^__^
Anyway, I got the chance to observe the main arrival area of NAIA airport. It’s the main international airport of Manila here in the Phils. What I first observed there was the huge pile of bags people carry around using those "push-carts". And when I say huge…they’re HUGE! They range from carrying bags to big boxes up to big water containers! Yes, I even saw someone use a big water container (or tank…whatever) to put his belongings into. The area was a mess with people and their bags, boxes, or water containers. Hehe…
Another thing is that I think almost all Filipino arrivals are happy. The only ones that I didntt see smiling were some foreigners who I think were only here for business. People were just brimming with stories and even if they don’t say it out loud, I think they’re just happy being home. There was a mother of two who were greeted by her sons and they can’t stop hugging each other. There’s also a couple who I think should get a room somewhere due to the kisses that they shared. Hehe. There were friends’ helping each other’s baggage and talking about their own experience during the flight. They didn’t mind the heat (but I did) eventhough its 3pm in the afternoon. The arrival area sure is a happy place.
And my cousin’s smile when he saw his mom waving at us sure is proof of that…^___^
