After the landing, I headed out the plane and was greeted by the pilot and air hostesses. I had made a mistake on one of the forms that we are supposed to fill during the flight and asked the guy outside the plane for another one of those forms. I filled the form and joined the long queue for immigration. There was a long waiting time of around 1.5-2hrs and my legs were ready to give away. Finally, I reached the counter and was asked few questions about my university,course,etc.
I felt a huge feeling of relief and made my way to the baggage claims area. I didnt have any $1 bills and was worried about getting the change for $10 bills. But the guy who gave out the carts told me that he could give me change. I took the change and started looking for my bags. After 15 minutes of fruitless search, I found one of my bags. Damn, all those bags look similar and its hard to recognize your bag after almost 28hrs of flight. After several rounds around the baggage claims, I found the other two bags and summoned all of my strength to put my bags on the cart and headed out.
I was frantically looking for my brother in law and I finally found him waiting for me. I walked to him and then called home and talked to mom. We then walked out the airport and I was amazed to look at the wide roads and the large cars. I shoved all my luggage in the back of the Acura MDX and walked over to sit in the front seat. My bro-in-law offered me some "pohas" and "energy bars" which I ate slowly. We both kept talking and I felt relaxed and relieved.
