I will never forget the time I spend ten hours at NewYork' s JFK airport when my flight was delayed due to bad weather conditions after I checked in my first stop was the departure gate most people looked nervous as if this flight would be their last there were also some noisy teenagers and tired mothers screaming at their children it was far too noisy there so I let the smell of fresh coffee guide me to a cafe near the duty-free store I watched people pushing carts piled high with suitcases holding plastic bags with their duty-free purchases I soon got bored so I went upstairs to the flight gallery the planes looked like giant birds taking off and coming in to land I decided that this was the most peaceful spot in the airport and I waited patiently for my flight to be announced
