I asked for a glass of red wine, and then took a look at the on-board entertainment guide.
Let's see...
Channel1 Something New
Channel2 Eight Below
Channel3 Big Momma's House2
Channel4 Last Holiday
Channel5 Glory Road
Channel6 The Perfect Man
Channel7 The Pink Panther
Channel8 Disney Channel
Channel9 short programs
...well, could be better, but never mind. I would then may be see Eight Below and The Pink Panther, I think.
The plane reached the target altitude of 37000. The announcement from captain says "please keep the seat belt fastened while seated, just in case". Then the movie resumed.
Do you agree that it is kind of annoying when annuoncement interrupt the movie? The screen paused, and sometimes the volume of the annoucement from your headset is just too laud. When the movie start, you just remember it was a very nice scene and now you are spoiled.
The announcement is now from the captain, explaining the weather in New York and telling what route we are taking etc.
I have been waiting for the long announcement finish as it was in the middle of the movie.
Yes finally.
The movie resumed. 10seconds later, suspended again.
"(in Japanse) Ladies and Gentlemen, there was an announcement from captain. He said......."
Oh, Come on.
"Bla bla bla....."
Oh, enough!
"Blaaaah bla bla blalaaa...."
(Sigh)...what can you do?
"....so please sit back and enjoy the flight. Thank you."
Finally. Shall I rewind the movie or not? I am tired of waiting.
The movie sould resume in any moment. I had a sip of the red wine.
The screen remain paused and...
"搭乘的大家先生ー"
What? Chinese??
I forgot about it. This flight is a one stop flight. It came from HongKong or Beijin, stopping Tokyo once to pick up more passengers. Oh God, help me.
"座椅安全??常?地勒?．．．現在的現地的天气．．"
Just....please...
If you think about the time when there was no such a long range plane such as boeing 777 that can fly over 12000Km. For instance,
Tokyo to Paris via Hongkong, Dhaka, Delhi, Dubai.
Announcement start with Japanese, then Chinese, Bengali, Hindi, Arabian, English, and France.
Better stop thinking.
A movie finished. Where are we? Let's take a look at the satellite map.
Long way to go...
