My flight landed at Heathrow an hour early (total flight
time 5 hours as opposed to 6). Feeling incredibly jetlagged, I searched for a
pod to sleep in at the airport, but turned up unsuccessful. The only
sleeping/resting options were in a VIP lounge that cost 35 pounds (equivalent
of $47) per hour to rent. I searched for a closed gate and took a nap on the benches
there for a few hours. After the nap, I felt a bit more refreshed and searched
for the spa to take a shower. London is expensive!! Even the hot shower was
$15. But at least, I am relieved that my hair won’t be greasy and I won’t be
smelly for the first time I meet my coworkers.
The organization I will be working for is picking me up at
the airport, and afterward we’ll be taking a short trip to the office for a
quick meet-and-greet with the staff in my team. What a joy to look forward to
after 48-hours of traveling.
In London, I opted to have internet connectivity and
discovered a new app called google’s talkatone to call my parents since viber
didn’t work. I also managed to facebook update and respond to a few emails.
Time well spent.
