We are in Toronto now. Most of us arrived yesterday after a long flight from London. I didn’t look forward to more than seven hours in an aeroplane, but was surprised by how pleasant it was. The seats were comfortable and the DVD player in front of me was perfect. I saw three movies, the best by far being Shrek 3.
I have been flying a lot these past weeks and I’m constantly amazed how the foreign planes are more comfortable than the Icelandic ones. I have to say that the amount Icelandair charges you for a plane ticket is outrageous considering the misery they make you endure on long flights. The seats are uncomfortable, there is no leg space and if you don’t have a laptop and want to watch a movie, you have to watch the same thing as the rest of the passengers.
Toronto seems nice. I had some Thai food with Mark, Númi and Sylvía yesterday, and then we took a walk on Yonge Street to keep us awake (we had a bad jet lag). The night was strange, I lost consciousness around eleven, but woke up at 3, 6 and 7.30, feeling very disoriented.
Tonight I’m just staying in my room, watching CNN. I notice that the TV commercials are very different from those I have seen on local stations in England. British TV commercials are often extremely funny; the ones on CNN aren’t.
There is something to be said for British humour!
