Our flight from Dublin to London was delayed by over an hour, then when we got to Heathrow we had to wait 20 minutes for a landing slot. Once we were off the plane we had less than an hour to get to Terminal 5 for our connecting flight. I knew Heathrow was big but I didn't realise it was this big. We were told it was going to be tight to make our flight and that we would have to run. So we ran through a maze of corridors, duty free shops and escalators until we reached the bus to terminal 5. This bus took over 10 minutes then more escalators and corridors and security checks. We met a guy from Buenos Aires somewhere along the way who was running for the same flight. Finally terminal 5 except we now needed to take a train to get to the building where our boarding gate was located. There were lots of people in the same situation as us, some made their flights some didn't make it too the security checks as they were told they would never make it in time.
We made our flight. I found my seat and sat down. The two passengers either side of me spoke to me in Spanish. Then the flight attendant said something to me in Spanish.
I need to learn Spanish.

Meh.. can't be worse then Russia or Mongolia, if we survived that without the language, you can surely survive this without Spanish!
ReplyDeleteAnd remember, you can always do like I did.. just keep saying "What?, What?, What?" works like a charm.

I think the most important sentence in Spanish that you need to learn is :"una cerveza por favor !"
