Chapter 8 - CHAPTER 8:SKYSCRAPER PARADISE

Finally, I was on the plane — and chale, I almost got a heart attack when it took off! The speed, the noise, the sudden lift into the sky… wow. I was already dreaming. I never thought a day like this would come — me, flying in the air, inside a whole airplane? Hmm. Wonders shall never end.

Before takeoff, they made an announcement for everyone to switch off their gadgets or put them in airplane mode. That's when I truly understood why that feature even exists. These days we just turn it on for style, but here… it was serious business!

During the flight, they served us food. And ghosssh, what on earth kind of food was that?! Hmm, let me keep quiet before I offend somebody's culture, haha. But just so you know — the food they give you on the plane? It's usually the food of the country you're heading to. So yeah… welcome to the new taste. I managed to eat a little and left the rest. After all, I was already feeling a bit funny in the moving plane. I didn't want to eat too much and end up vomiting, haha.

I just sat quietly, listening to music. Funny enough, I'm not even the music type. But sometimes, situations push you into things you never imagined. That day, it was music that kept me calm, and honestly… I enjoyed it.

After sitting for so many hours — well, I can't even tell how long exactly — an announcement came that the plane would be landing soon. Everyone got alert, and within a few minutes, we touched down at New York Airport.

As soon as I stepped out and saw the lights, the noise, the buildings — I whispered to myself: "So this is it... this is Skyscraper Paradise." Gossssh, everything was beautiful. We have places back home, but this one? This was another level!
