G.O. hangout
Travelling from one place to another by airplane, especially to a destination far away, has always confused my a little. I think this is because when one leaves an airplane in a foreign and very different location, like Africa for example, one steps from one continent, climate and culture into very different ones within a second. It always takes me a while to realize where I am and how I got there.
So I tried something different and went from Great Britain to the United States by ship. And indeed it was very different. For five days I was able to take my time and watch the waves pass by. And how could one cherish such an time centered occasion better that with a decent mechanical watch?
