Stuck in the airport
Have you ever been stuck in an airport because your flight got cancelled or delayed? Unfortunately, I have. Many times. Too many times. It can be a miserable experience. So, I really feel for all of the folks stranded at Narita and Kansai Airport, who can't return to their homes in Europe. I am sure all of you know, but just in case, I will ask the question: Do you know why they are stranded? Because a volcano erupted in Iceland and ashes from volcanic eruptions enter the air and cause poor visibility for planes and can also cause engine failure. So the airlines cancelled all of the flights in and out of Europe. It is the biggest such shut down of flights since 9/11, the terrorism attach in America
If you were stuck in the airport what would you do? I would walk around a lot, pace, call/email my friends and family, sleep, probably drink some beer and try to eat some food. But the only good food which I saw at Narita airport the last time I was there was ramen (see pic below). But eating ramen, ramen, and more ramen for a few days in a row, isn't so healthy i think
Anyway, I hope they can go home soon...
The below article is pretty interesting. You should check it out.
