TitleMacau Part II: Air travel woes

Just when you thought it was safe to go to the toilet.

Lavatory + Turbulence = YIKES!

Yes, that girl in the comic strip is supposed to be me. ;)

I must especially emphasize the fact that the plane ride was extremely smooth until the time I decided to go to the toilet. Then Mister Turbulence came and shook the plane for a bit while I struggled to balance in the little lavatory. (Have you ever tried maintaining your balance in a claustrophobia-inducing environment on board a shaky plane?!?) Scooted back to my seat … and then the turbulence stopped and the seatbelt signs flicked off in less than two minutes.

Boy, talk about bad timing!

And one thing about trying to walk upright on board a plane during turbulence is the inevitable wave of ’seasickness’ which plagues me for the next one or two days. You know, the feeling as if you’re still on board a shaky plane even though you’re seated at your desk on firm, solid ground?

And I think I should draw more comic strips like these.

Stay tuned for Macau Part III. ;)

Haha, you should do more comic strips. :D

I don’t think they took into consideration the toilet being engaged during turbulence. That’s something someone might want to flag up. :P

Draw more comic strips! They’re fun to read. XD
If I don’t remember wrongly this also happened to me before, but that was many years back. Thankfully the turbulence wasn’t too bad! But yeah, these things do occur at bad timings sometimes. ^^;

Aw man. What timing! Honestly.

The comic strip is way cute too, Brenda!

Thankfully no. The only plane toilet I visited was on a national route. Those planes, here, are disgustingly small and rickety. So’s the toilet. I don’t think I’d want to try balancing on top of not touching anything XP
