Long long time ago .... in our business class:))

I've heard this story years ago when I started flying from one of the senior crew (Ken) , he has since left the airlines. Had meant to share this story but kept forgetting. Yesterday when I was talking to another colleague, his name came up & I immediately remember this cute story. So here it is, before I forget again!

This happened long ago when the airlines had just started the business class. People were still new to it. Ken was just a new flight attendant back then. It happened on a flight to Japan. He first saw the male passenger, a typical uncle type , sitting in the wrong seat. Lets call him Mr X.

Ken politely asked for his boarding pass.
Mr X: I'm in the right seat !
Ken: I'm not questioning that sir, it could be a problem with the booking system.
Mr X reluctantly took out his boarding pass. Ken then realized the man is not only in the wrong seat, he's in the wrong section.
Ken: Mr X, you are actually booked in our business class, up front.
Mr X : Business? I'm not traveling on business. I'm visiting my daughter.
Ken: Mr X, business class is not just for business travelers. The seats have more room, quality of service is higher.You are supposed to be in a much more expensive seat sir.
Mr X: My son-in-law bought the ticket, I don't know anything about that, but I'm settled in right here, thank you! I've taken out my medicine, my reading glasses & book. I'm not going to pack all these up again & move to a different seat.

Ken had never dealt with a situation like this before. The Japanese lady whose EY seat Mr X occupied was standing behind him not knowing what's going on!
Ken tried one more time: Sir do you mean you prefer to remain here for the flight? Your business class seat will be much more comfortable. You have already paid for it.
Mr X:  That's what I said, didn't I? I don't like  business people. Bunch of crooks. I want to be right here, in the middle of the plane where I'm safe, not up front in the death zone. That's what I told my daughter, & that's what I want.

End of story ...lol... The Japanese lady got his seat in the business class. And for the rest of the 7-8 hours flight he made life pretty difficult for poor Ken. Ken never forget this incident, but when he relate it to us, it's always hilarious.

Hope you enjoy :))

Random moments

Sometimes you capture these random moments , just people going about their daily lives that when photographed can produce these moving images.

For me, the pictures where I go undetected as not to disturbed the natural flow of things are my favorite. It is when you are looking back at those images that you sometimes discover more than you originally saw through the camera lens in the first place. Picture below is just a normal street scene from one of my trips to Taipei. Notice how natural & happy the lady on the left & the child looked. Seeing that somehow makes me happy too:))
