HNT Chapter 6
 
As a wee boy I loved to fly. I still do, but I hate airports. They are too big, busy, and confusing.
 
From Christchurch, I fly to Auckland. Auckland has two airports. One is domestic, the other is international. To catch an international flight, you must go to the international terminal. You catch a bus, or you can walk there. To do so, you follow a green line painted on the ground.
 
I go up to the check-in counter. The man laughs at me. “Your ticket is Qantas, but this is Air New Zealand.” I look surprised, so he tells me to relax. “You will make many more mistakes today, I’m sure.”
 
I’m tired, so I search for an empty row of seats. I fall asleep there. But after a few minutes, someone wakes me up—a security guard. “You cannot sleep here,” he says. “You must sit up, or be somewhere else.”
 
I go through the hand-luggage check. Everyone has their hand-luggage X-rayed. On the screen, they see my camping stove. “Is it safe?” they ask. “Have you brought any camping gas with you?”
It is safe, and I don’t have any, so that’s a relief.
 
At Hong Kong, I’m sleepy again. But the chairs are hard, and it is noisy. Some workmen are using hammers and drills. A woman is using a vacuum cleaner. So I find somewhere else to get clean. I wash my face in a bathroom.
 
At Taipei, it is time for the airplane to be cleaned. Everyone must get out and wait in the transit hall. We have to wait there for an hour. From here, it is 1300km to Japan. That will take us two hours to fly. In Japan I will walk twice that distance, but it will take me two or three months.
