thoughts of a judgemental globe-trotter

(Written 12/24/07, found and posted today)

Thoughts from Madrid: In an age when airlines are supposedly trying to deter the induction of new members to the internationally-recognized Mile High Club, why would airport stores in departure areas sell approximately 8 different varieties (brands, sizes, tastes, etc.) of condoms? Isn’t that kind of asking – nay, demanding – that people let their hormones run rampant between dinner and the in-flight movie?

Thoughts from Paree: For being the supposed fashion capital of the world, a surprisingly high percentage of travelers passing through Paris (well, the airport) seem to open their closets to decide what to wear and somehow - perhaps having been struck by temporary blindness - reach the conclusion that Crocs are the way to go. Unfortunate.
