you know that I have University degrees in Economics & Property valuation & I am not illiterate.
Sitting in a railway station, airport, plane or around a pool there are dozens of stories unfolding around you if you observe people.
Your imagination works overtime analyzing what you see.
The guy pacing up & down waiting for a plane to arrive, looking at his watch every 2 minutes. The nervous woman with two kids looking like she expects an estranged husband to burst through the door at any second. The young couple kissing & cuddling, heading off on their first dirty weekend away together. The couple with 3 kids all saying "are we there yet" etc. Millions of other scenarios.
Open your eyes & look around you.
Having said that I enjoy a good biography. Too much to see while intransit & so little time in Bali though. The books stay home.
