The Forbidden Zone of First Class

I will be in university of California, Berkeley (UCB) during next ten days. This will be my third time to go aboard in this year. Previously, I went to Cambodia and Hawaii in March and July, respectively. Most of the trips planed to travel but not this time. The main purpose of this time is study; therefore I will be more serious. Hope I can learn something from this program, classmates (most are managers and just few students)… what ever.

Today I drove the car with my father on the way to the airport. I was happy but not exciting. My role is studies accompany which has some jobs – takes pictures, read the course materials, attends the class, records the voices – the last and the most important is I need to write a final report all about this short program. I haven't said that the name of this short program is "UCB jointed NCTU Executive Program".

It is a long flight from Taipei to San Francisco almost takes 12 hours. Unfortunately, we took Chain Airline that I don’t really like. We seated in the end line of the old 747-400 airplane. The cabin is old style without the individual TV and the seat is small just like ten years ago. It is extremely awful that I can't use my remote control. That means I need to seat in my tiny space for 12 hours. No music, no light, can't read….O my god! I can’t believe. However, the last lucky thing is I am not alone; because there are another three people have this problem, and our seats are connected together. We can complain to the airline stewardess and ask her to solve our problem, at this we deserved to get something to compensate our "lucky".

After taking off for 3 hours, the senior stewardess stopped beside us and took some of four-poor-passengers leaving one by one beside me. I was very curious about why did they need leave with their luggage. After taking three passengers away, the stewardess didn’t show up for a while. At that time I felt very uncomfortable because of I think they must be upgraded by the stewardess. Moreover, I looks so young so nobody will care about me that I also surfed by the bed remote controller.

The "lucky" became a "real" lucky. It is hard to believe that I can enter the forbidden zone of the cabin that my seat upgraded from economy class to first class because of my poor controller of my seat.
