After breakfast, Nina and I shared a taxi to the airport. Her flight was an hour before mine, so I had plenty of time to roam around the airport. I love to walk around airports and look at the monitors at each gate to see where the planes are going. On my way to my gate, I passed this monitor:
In case it's too small to read, the destination is Pyongyang. I realized that that's one city I've never seen on an airport monitor before, and I hope I see the day when I can pass a similar monitor and not think that it's an unusual sight.On the topic of unusual signs, here are a few of my favorites from China.
On the bathroom door of the hostel: City of Beijing is short of water. Please treasure the water and don't forget close the faucet in the toilet after use. By the way, We do not suggest you drink the water in the toilet. (Ummm . . . no, neither do I.)
At Tianamen Square: Construction on the spot. No admission. Thank you. (I'm glad they get right on it.)
At the Lama Temple: Fire-fighting equipment is strictly prohibited to be diverted.
At the Great Wall:All that belong to the nation belong to the world civilization is the most important. (And there we have it.)
Be civilized visitor, set up the ecosystem together! (We're really keen on civilization at the Great Wall.)
Appreciate the Great Wall lovely view, do not forget the fire is heartless!
Speaking cellphone is strictly prohibited when thunderstorm.Heart cerebral disease sufferer ascend the Great Wall to please watch for.
At the Ming tombs: No Scribbling. No Climbing. (So if you're going to deface the tombs, at least stay in the lines.)
In Beijing, the amuseful/happy customer easy meal restaurant.
The wet towel on the airplane on my way back to Korea: This refreshing towel also has a sterilizing effect. (I hope not.)
Now I'm back in Korea, but I have a long list of things to see on a return trip to Beijing someday!
