Downtown Kolkata


Knew I'd moved into a different atmosphere as soon as I got in the plane at Kuala Lumpur. The hostess had to announce 20 times for people to please sit in their assigned seats. There was then a period where hostesses and hosts had to get people who had sat in the wrong seats to move. The noise level was two or three times as loud as what it usually is in other flights- and the whole process took two or three times as long. It was though chaos had entered the plane and the Malaysian crew had to do their best to accommodate it. Kolkata and Bangladesh often had that edge of chaos, or slightly on the other side, feel to me.
