Some random thoughts when travelling...

1) In every Southwest flight I board (where seat numbers are not assigned), there is ALWAYS someone occupying the aisle seat and pretending to be asleep so that no one will occupy the middle seat next to them

2) The air hostess ALWAYS walks right past me during her trash collection rounds even though I desperately try to catch her attention and frantically wave my empty coffee cup at her. Why oh why does she not notice me?

3) There is always the one person that looks at me, takes in my laptop bag and desi looks, and triumphantly asks if I am an SAP implementation consultant. I am not sure if i should take this ethnic stereotyping as an insult, or if I should feel flattered that he considers me a brainy techie type

4) Women in California have a curiously uniform way of dressing.
San Francisco woman = knee high boots + tight jeans + chanel/gucci sunglasses + black turtleneck + tight jacket + high ponytail
Los Angeles woman = Long baby doll style blouse + gray sweater much shorter than blouse + capri style pants/jeans + fabulous boots

5) America is BIG. Really really big. I have lived here for many years, traveled quite a lot, and I can still never get over how magnificently big this wonderful country is
