最近總共在紐約待了一個禮拜、華盛頓兩天、然後維州 Richmond 一個禮拜
在這兩個禮拜期間,有好多事情都讓我覺得美國真的很不一樣
七月初抵達紐約JFK機場,第一個印象就是小又老舊的航站塞滿了等待入關
的旅客(JFK有好幾個Terminal,我們這個正好比較小又舊)
長長的人龍從海關一路塞滿到登機口,但是只有幾位簽證官在工作
我們幸好是座位在很前排的,下飛機比較早,所以只等了大概一個小時就通關了
排隊的時候回首望去後方一片人海啊~ 真壯觀
我跟旅伴互相取笑 You stupid foreigner, you deserve to wait here
forever to be able to help our economy (我們此行是度假+購物+工作)
感覺大部分的國際機場都會盡量建得寬敞明亮讓旅客覺得舒適
紐約又是美國的經濟首都、空運重鎮
但感覺他們並不是很在意讓旅客舒適的問題
感覺比較像是「反正我擺爛也是有源源不絕的傻子捧著錢要來我家花」這樣
在等待的時候,牆上的電視也在強力放送新聞報導
音量超大、喋喋不休重複少少幾條新聞
如果把腦袋放空,我當真有種回到台灣被第四台24小時電視新聞給淹沒的感覺
XDD
等待的時候我也發現到
如果旅客是黑皮膚、棕皮膚、深色皮膚、中東或是東南亞還有拉丁裔的
他們通關的時候都會花比較久,簽證官會花比較多時間細細審問
所以前面的人有上述特徵的,心裡就要有準備要等比較久了
相反的,如果旅客是白皮膚的,通常很快就通關了
對了,等待的時候隨時都有背景廣播注意安全事項等等
除了英語和西班牙語之外還有聽到廣東話,好妙 XDD
(印象中好像反而沒有聽到中文的勒?)

未完待續

要準備離開辦公室回華盛頓搭飛機了
喔耶,終於要回家了~ XDD

戀愛比做愛困難
戀愛要訴諸感覺,而做愛只要刺激感官
