Play Misty for me
Fog is a wonderful thing, even an act of God, according to the Swiss Arlines liability clause. It also prevents planes from taking off. Meaning that the flight to Zurich was delayed. This had the nasty consequence of not being able to be on time for the Zurich to Tokyo flight. Fortunately, this act of God also made sure this was also delayed, meaning I was just in time to hop on board. This nick-of-time occasion included a run of 10 minutes through the Swiss airport, cursing for the electric train to be on time, and shouting at the gate personnel. But at least I made it. A pleasant surprise was that even my luggage was transported as well.
Small moment of reflection during the flight: rows and rows of elderly Japanese, with emotionless faces and soulless eyes. I wonder whether some of them had worked at the concentration camps, torturing some of my family members. Faces without any form of emotion.
