LOST IN THE AIRPORT
I was seventeen when I first came to London. My actual home and life are here, but I was a teenager when I first saw London's biggest airport. This was probably the funniest experience I’ve ever had. As an Athletic Club enthusiastic fan, I had to go to Bucharest, to see the match between Steaua and Athletic.

2011, having a good time with my family in London, my brother, my dad and I decided to go to Bucharest. When we arrived at the airport, not only did we not know how to speak fluent English, but also we were not able to express ourselves. It was enormous and crowded, people were going quickly side to side, owing to the rush of actual society and the need to be in a hurry.
We tried to convince the stewardess that we were trying to find Bucharest’s terminal. She had no idea of Spanish so she called her superior, whose Spanish was really poor but was able to understand it. After two hours, he told us that our plane had already taken off.
Given that this happened, they sent us to another plane, with destination Budapest, even though we were not informed about that. Finally, we did not see the victory of our team, but we had a great time sightseeing the city.
