Answer:
A few years ago, I was travelling to Spain alone and this was the third time for me to travel out of my country and the first time a solo trip to such a long distance. I am not a frequent air traveller and take-off and landing of the plane give me an uncomfortable feeling that I am yet to get accustomed to. However, during my flight to Spain, I got a window seat and the experience of flying above the cloud and seeing the whole city from almost 10 thousand feet above the ground was captivating and something quite new for me.
Since I was alone and the flight was at night, I spent most of my time reading a book on my ebook reader or looked outside through the window. As usual, I was a bit nervous when the plane started its journey and went high in the sky. But I soon forget about my uncomfortable feelings when I looked outside and was thrilled to look at the distant city that I have just left.
From above, it looked like a small land filled with many lights, perhaps comparable to fireflies, and the experience of looking at it was something surreal. The same feeling returned when it was almost the time to land on the Madrid Airport and I could see a range of illuminated areas which, to me, seems like some lively pictures that came to reality like the computer animation. Large buildings were nothing more than a few dots and the whole city seemed like a great work of an artist who knew how to place them!
I could hear the safety announcement by a cabin crew but I was so busy perceiving and enjoying the view that hardly any word of the announcement reached my ear. I was, as if, turned in to a small baby trying to figure out how a butterfly could fly or a fish can swim. I was so overwhelmed with it that I returned to reality when people were rushing to the exit door which means the plane had safely landed and I did not worry about the uncomfortable feelings of landing even for a second.
