They lost my luggage and I didn39。t speak a word of English. I had to use my hands to explain myself. People understood what I meant and they helped me out. have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant. But one of the funniest I could recall wasthere was this passenger who had a toupee and one of m}39。f flight. attendants was serving…I think…she was serving food…and she had this tray. And suddenly turbulence happened, and she lost her balance…and her hand landed on the guy’s head, who had a toupee. When she caught her balance again, the toupee kind of shifted, so his sideburns were on his forehead. And I had to control my laughter because you39。re not allowed to laugh…Track 31OL1 Track 31OL2W: Wow, Jun, you look relaxed! Did you enjoy the long weekend?J: I sure did actually.

Didn’t you have to wait for it?J: No, I didn’t have much, only one carryon bag, it just fits the overhead partment.W: So let me get this straight. You spent your weekend in an airplane flying around?J: Basically yes. I fly standby.W: Standby?J: Yes, as a standby passenger. I don’t have a reservation. At the last minute, they let me know if there’s a seat available. They give me a boarding pass and I get on.W: All these flying must be expensive.J: Well, I’m an airline employee.
