South African Hospitality

Ok so the 13.5 hour flight from Sydney to Joburg wasn't bad. Watched around 4 movies (The Hangover 2, Kung Fu Panda 2, Friends with Benefits, Captain America); tried sleeping; watched a documentary on Donald Trump; tried sleeping again; couldn't really get out of my seat and take a walk coz of an elderly lady who was sitting on the isle side. So taking ALL of this into account (and yes the movies were useless), fml.
Lesson learnt: Never get the window seats. You can't see jack *$(%.


Anyways, we're sitting at the gate at Joburg airport, and waiting to board the bus to the flight. So I walk to the bathroom to wash my face, and there's the cleaner waiting by the door. Let me type out in a conversation mode what goes down next. BTW he is smiling the whole time.

(He greets me with a smile, and as he sees me going to the tap)
"How are you sir? Just go to the tap"


(As I put some facial scrub in my hands)
"Oh yes please put some soap Sir"


(As I go to dry my hands)
"Yes sir please dry your hands"

(As I'm leaving)
"Sir thank you for drying your hands. If you have any coins?"

I love this dude ae. I was cracking up, but told him I didn't have any coins. As I walked off, I thought 'man this guy is the most happiest dude on Earth'. So instead I took a picture with him.
