Refreshing Sight
April 8, 2005
For the first time in a long while, something's right at the NAIA (Manila's International Airport). The floor of the baggage claim area has been newly painted green. It was really clean. The men's room was also a pleasant surprise -- fixtures were new -- and no janitors hanging around for tips.
Then there's a "Wow! Philippines" booth for tourists, complete with brochures in different languages with welcoming ladies in local costume.
Somebody or some group got its act right. It's not that much but it's not usual to be greeted with positive signs at this airport so, hey, I'll take this one.
Of course, in ten minutes I went right smack into Manila's Friday night traffic, but then one bit of good news at a time is good enough...
