I head out to the airport after heaving tea in the hotel lobby. I felt a little loney, maybe it’s the prove that I’m quite satisfied with Estonia. I’ll come again next time. Reached the airport. Sure enough it’s still smaller than what I thought when I just arrived. It’s like a domestic terminal but much more prettier. After checking in, I went in for security check. When I walked towards them, I felt the characteristic of the IT advanced country, Estonia. Most of the countries have manned security checks, and you will only be allow to board the plane after checking, but it’s completely automated in Estonia. Although they’re not as strict as the other countries. If you do not take out the liquids and cosmetics, it’ll be more troublesome after that. In the queue, I saw something which I’ve never seen before, it’s the gachapon.

It felt strange to have them here, but it sort of eased the serious atmosphere a little. And it created a beautiful and incrediable atmosphere. I walked closer for a look, they really were cute. I asked the satff what they were. Those poeple who were carrying water, poured the water into the plastic bag in the gacha, and then proceed for security checks. That’s the only purpose, it’s amazing that they purposely put a gacha machine here. This kind of sense! And, the security check that was stricter than what i thought as bags were being checked over and over again until the ok was given. Also, I was prepared, but the lady in front of me got very angry when the perfumes she bought as presents were all being opened up. Such strict security checks were rare to see. Especially the bags of the females were repeatedly search, including the undergarments. And you were not allowed to open the bags yourself. The staff can do whatever they want. “Of course they have to be angry…it’s better to let female staff to check the bags of the female passengers” I thought.

But I do not feel like that at all. I should say this is the Russian culture, it’s regrettable… I thought, and I finally pass throught the security checks. Even so, the front lobby was pretty and cute. It’s well expressed as something like a large living room, it’s that kind of feeling. And, a passenger who saw the grand piano, started playing. I wanted to play after him but there no time for me, so I walked past it. But, they even have a ping pong table…I’m really impressed. Indeed the waiting time in the airport is really boring. It’s boring for adults. It’s should be 10 times or more for children. I guess it makes sense to understand why children make so much noise in the airport. Finally it’s time to board and I walk towards the flight to Ukraine, I was surprised at how small the plane was. “Is this, ok…” It’s small inside too. I wonder how they differentiate between business class and economy class. What is this. It was shaking pretty badly before lifting off, other times were normal. The clouds were very close to the ground. This should be the reason why this country’s sky is so pretty. Now, what about Ukraine…
