"7th Month"
It's the time of the year... but are you doing anything differently? Is your
mum telling you to come home before midnight? Are you less likely to travel?
Do you shower with one eye open... trying to curb that eerie feeling that
someone is watching you as you clean yourself? I don't think this is
related, but earlier today something did happen. But it happened it broad
daylight. On my way to Hong Kong, in the United Airlines aircraft... before
the aircraft doors are closed the pilot announces, "ladies and gentlemen,
we're sorry to announce that the flight will be delayed due to a damage to
the cargo door".
Delayed it was, for 3 hours. We were not allowed to leave the aircraft...
and we were stuck there from 6:30am (it was an early flight out, we were
hoping to start our day early in HK) till 9:30am. It was an arduous 6+ hours
flight to Hong Kong. The airline would have to call their engineering
counterpart in Europe to assess the damage, repair it... and have it
certified before we could fly. All this was done while we were baking like
macaroni and cheese in the cabin... as the sun rises and cooks us alive.
Well, I don't think this is related to the timing on the chinese calendar...
you bet shit can happen any month.
