Work, airport and old people

There is a travel agency in GB for which I work on a very irregular basis. It is nothing complicated - more or less just meeting the clients at the airport and accompanying them by bus to their final destination.
What is interesting about this agency is that their target group is retired people. It cares about all the comfort, special diet the clients need and also prepare programme in a way that anyone can participate. These clients are really amazing. Instead of sitting at home and complaining about their pains they choose to see places that they could not visit before (cold war, iron curtain, blah blah blah).
I like the job because with them I see my country with different eyes. And it's fun. Imagine standing at the airport, watch people leaving the restricted area and thinking: "Too young, too young", then an old lady with a stick - "this could be ours..."

Yesterday while waiting for the belated flight we had a conversation with the British delegate. It was her first time in Prague so she had some surprising observations that I have never heard before:
- most places begin with S,H,D or P and all names sound the same (heh, she should go to Armenia for awhile :)
- I don't look Slavic. I could very easily be considered British (if I keep my mouth shut)
- She was shocked that people take their dogs to the airport. No-one would do it in London. (Come on! Dogs are part of the family. My dog was also at the airport when I was coming back home.)
