Don’t get me wrong. It is a privilege and an adventure to be able to travel. But it is also – occasionally – a real pain. Things like lost bags, missed connections, annoying people, sad food etc have a tendency to bring even the most positive of travelers down. My trip to Belgium has been an easy and comfortable one for me but all around me there were less happy people.
It began early when disembarking I noticed a bag which had been dropped
Someone’s toothbrush will not be following them home. Despite this my bag was not lost so I moved happily along. The hotel was nice, friendly and clean but the wifi was a bit too flakey so most of the time I either had difficulties or was unable to go online.
Travel has been made even more annoying with the new rules at the security check. Actually it is not too difficult but strangely enough too many people have not yet understood that if they do not attempt to have metal items on them – it makes you wonder whether people enjoy being fondled by security.
Just after the security I saw this wonderful sign in a window. What do you think? Is it a recruitment campaign or simply a way of adding insult to the security insult of not being able to carry liquids?
I think its Belgian humor…
