Tuinder Travels

by Nico den Tuinder
EAGER for a short trip?
Tired of all those city tours dragging you from one museum to the other? NTT has the ideal short visit trip: to exotic Bangladesh. Dream of the deltas. Get to know all of it in just four hours.
The International airport will be our destination. After leaving the plane giant queues in front of the passport control will be wafting for you. The boots are understaffed: at the same time you will see a lot of loafers.
The conveyor belts will be the next attraction. The bags of your plane are likely be distributed over two conveyor belts at the same time. You may put some valuable items in you bags for extra excitement: you'cannot watch both" belts at the same time, and thieves may steal your luggage. Or lake some bags that can easily be cut open by officials. If waiting takes too long, try changing both travellers' cheques arid cash at one of the banks in the hall. The employees will only be will only be willing to change the latter. They cannot fiddle with cheques.
Then we will leave the building, for the crowd experience. You may draw up in
phalanxes and use the trolleys as spears, like the old .Romans did.
You may spend one hour as you wish. Suggestions? Act as an innocent, inexperienced traveller: you will get ripped off by one of the taxi driver. None of their taxis is metered. Take a short drive with one of them, for a taste of the local traffic game.
An old-time favorite is spending some time in the arrival hall. When you are tired, you can take a seal in the cafe. You can really relax in the tough chairs. You may try to distract the waiter from the television, or get the television's noise down, if you wish so. your children can play the game "Count the Deficiencies in the Arrival Hall." They may earn points by counting the number of broken tubelights. crawling cockroaches, waste papers, dirty toilets, announcements for the departure hall, and the number of people who have to keep standing In the absence of a proper number of chairs. Nota bene: the privilege of spending some time in the arrival hall will cost you twenty Taka.
At eleven o'clock sharp you must report at the gale of the departure hall. Yuu will
be packed up. No intimacy, no time, hurry! The first passenger to reach the passport control wjll get a small prize. An indication of the hurdles: opening of two queues by the airline officials, and not managing the clients in the old order, or misinforming the passengers (the official may say that your flight is delayed, while actually another one is).
After these thrills you will be able to relax in airport restaurant. CNN with its diarrhoea of news will be blaring out of several tv>.
You will then proceed to the waiting ro6m. With a little bit of luck, your flight will indeed be delayed. The announcement will probably be made right at the scheduled tinie of ydut rjppayture. The
move freely.in ajidoqt^the waiting rpom again, without, checking n(ml
This will be the end of your tour. We are sure you will enjoy each .part of ft.
The international airport. Miniature Bangladesh.
The experience: Inefficiency Theft Crowds Recklessness Indifference
