We traveled from Dar es Salaam to San Francisco on 22nd Aug 2014.
Landed at Amsterdam on 23rd morning. Our travel agent has told me to go to a transfer desk at Amsterdam, since we have a "paper ticket"
But the transfer desks are unmanned ! It is uncomfortable. All the simpler chores of life seem to have been 'de-humanised'. Side-effects of economic prosperity.
The human "labour" has become too expensive OR the well-fed humans do not wish to take on such repetitive tasks.
Communication is 93% non-verbal.
We live in a world ( Africa and Indian subcontinent ) where human's are almost always on hand to assist -with a smile -mostly. That is comforting : you react to the confidence and warmth with which the information is presented. You feel cared-for.
