I started from home with Shankar and Satish. They dropped me in the airport almost on time. The self check-in machine wanted to read my passport in vain. The poor old Indian passport was devoid of the magnetic stripe. I had to wait for a representative to get my stuff checked in. Flight was as usual, wait time in O’Hare was painful. Thanks to the wi-fi. I hopped on the network and did some chatting :-), read some blogs, caught up on the news…usual stuff… “expedition to discover the end of the internet”…that how I term non-subjective web surfing.
The new and comfy Air Canada flight landed in Toronto on time. The airport was pretty good too. I was reading the signs in French and was acquainting myself with common words on the way to immigration. Once I got my immigration cleared, I headed towards the rental car location. Guess what, the customer service representative was Mr.Kugan talking to me in Tamil. That just made me very happy. (more…)
