Aircraft within an airport

Being a frequent traveller, at least until Feb last year, visiting an airport always was something special for me. The atmosphere, noises, excitement…..everything, which goes with the beginning of a new journey. So being grounded by the pandemic has had a double impact. Sort of, making you feel lost, somehow.

Transport in Chile in 1982

These aircraft had usually 6 across seating and one centre aisle. It is very interesting to contemplate that recently narrow body aircraft are considered again for transatlantic and longer flightsContinue reading “Digital Nomad 2”

Dissappearing China

For better or worse. China is changing. Becomes more modern. Concrete and glass. Obviously improvements. Bicycles are being replaced by cars or motorbikes. More hygienic and neat.

Traditional wayContinue reading “Dissappearing China”
