What is Panda diplomacy?

Now I have landed after the trip to the USA. As usual, I look for interesting impressions along the way. There were a few hours of waiting at Heathrow on the way back. I really looked for something to buy, but couldn’t find anything. I had a good lunch instead of shopping. I like nutritious meals, for example, with a little chicken and some mix of salad. The food is presented differently from that in Stockholm. Also, a greater variety of vegetables. Yummy. I also had the opportunity to read news I didn’t have time to read in the USA, which you can see below.

USA – a country from slavery to freedom. Easy to forget.

On one of the flights before Heathrow, a passenger began moving strangely and violently just before landing. It became uneasy among all the passengers. He had no cramps, but he had uncontrolled movements. Other passengers and I tried to make eye contact with the man sitting in front of me. We also tried to speak with him. Strangely, it was as if he were fully conscious but had completely lost control of his body. As if his body were dancing like Michael Jackson. He didn’t say a word. The plane landed, and the seatbelt sign went out – the pilot was unaware of what was happening in the cabin. People were scared and started to quickly get up. Instinctively, without thinking, I stood up and told the flight attendant to announce over the loudspeaker that everyone should sit down. The plane became quiet, and I also sat down. We waited about 10 minutes for medical personnel to pick up the man. After that, we were able to leave the plane at Miami airport.

Once at Heathrow, after sleeping across the Atlantic, I had my salad and then took the opportunity to browse through all the shops. I really don’t have room to buy any new things. I love books, but they also take up space. The digital world has taken over my life.

Now I read in the news that President Trump has received a Presidential plane gift from Qatar. The Americans have just had a test flight. Maybe the Middle East is inspired by China’s soft diplomacy? They are so cute, the pandas below. Tomorrow there will be an intensive trip during the day, but within the country’s borders. Twelve hours on the train.
