In January of 1981 after arrival (from Karachi) at the schiphol airport, after
immigration, customs formalities I checked in my bags for the domestic flight of NLM city Hopper (Fokker
plane) to Eindhoven.
Staff at the check in counter (of NLM city Hopper airline) gave me baggage tags. This was
my first time exposure to these things in a unknown (new) country. As I was trying to
figure it out, girls at the counter whispered to each other after noticing me doing
something differently (that this was a first time traveller) while looking at me
undoing the rubber band of the tag and putting it back on the handle and knotting
it again (but they were shy and did not offer to help me to put the tags on, which
is actually a simple thing if you know it.). At the same time while they were talking
to each other in whisper I was trying to figure out in my mind how to make
friendship with them but I was shy and introvert as well So after checkin I walked
away from the counter, looked around in the hall, stepped out to the street to see
the view, back in again, a woman passed by me and told me that I had a sticker on
my the back of my jacket. It was a nuffic sticker which I was displaying on my jacket
so that some one should come and talk to me (as per the instructions in the booklet). I asked her where was the nuffic office,
she pointed in a upward direction a bit far from where we were standing. I decided
not to go to look for nuffic office upstairs in the building rather proceeded to the
departure gate for the domestic flight to Eindhoven operated by NLM city Hopper.
