Flashback No.3

Some of you on my tachko81 mailing list might remember this one. September 6, 2000, I was walking into the domestic airport in Guangzhou, China, on my way to Shanghai. We’re all used to walk into an airport and see a newspaper and magazine stand, maybe a music store or some place that sells candy and gum. But right there, literally in front of the check-in desk at this airport was nothing else but...a fresh fruit and vegetable stand.

(Feel free to click on the picture to see it up close). Now, some of us, when flying, we tend to use the time to catch-up on some reading, maybe do some work, we take a nap here and there. But it seems that Mr Fun Wan Gay (or was it Wan Fun Gay) likes to spend the time on the flight cutting vegetables into a bowl for a nice salad (dressing on the side, please) so that he can arrive at his relative’s house in Shanghai with something a little more significant and personal than a bottle of wine. A classic.
