aisle seat
This seat gives me the convenience to ask for drinks and snacks whenever I want, and don't have to say, 'Excuse me', when I need to use the washroom. However, fate assigned me next to two interesting passengers. The Finnish lady who sat in the same row was quite anxious, as this is her first time to travel outside Europe, and out of all the places she is going to Shen Zheng, China. She doesn't know how to use chopsticks, and therefore I asked a fork for her. And boy, this woman drinks like a cow and talks non-stop. In the beginning I thought it was a small chat, but the conversation developed into a mini lecture--I soon knew about her family history. Another Chinese lady who sat next to me was not the stereotypical shy and obedient oriental woman. When the person at the front seat complained that she wasn't sitting still, instead of apologising, she forcefully argued that this is not her fault but the chair's structure. Oh how I wish to sit next to a nice-looking and intelligent young man during long flights.
