Image via WikipediaThe Cathay Pacific ticket counter was packed with travelers from all walks of life. Just the hustling and bustling of people was enough to give Buzzwordy flashback about his trips to Tokyo, Malaysia, and other exotic places.
Being an efficient traveler himself, he normally packed light - so light that even the frequent globetrotters would be jealous of him. This all started after his first trip to Japan when he had to ride the trains to inspect a few factories outside of Tokyo and Kyoto.
Buzzwordy dragged three big and heavy luggage onto the train platform and readied himself to get on the morning train. When the train was just about to arrive, he saw a horde of people running from one side of the platform to the other side in order to seize a fighting chance to get on the locomotive.
The scene was so captivating and powerful, and left Buzzwordy completely speechless. He made multiple attempts to get on the train, however, he failed every time because of the three humongous luggage. They were like oversized graystones or boat anchors, and no matter how hard he tried to drag them along, they didn't seem to budge.
After struggling for almost three hours and once the morning traffic began to die down, he managed to climb atop an express train heading towards the outskirt of Tokyo. Needless to say, he learned his lesson very quickly. From that moment on, whenever he traveled, his only motto was "FASTER THAN A BIRD AND LIGHTER THAN A FEATHER!". Buzzwordy had never looked back ever since he adopted this new mantra.
"Buzzwordy, here you are! Have you checked in and gotten your boarding pass already?" asked Bif when he bumped into Buzzwordy amidst a large crowd of moving people.
"Yes Bif. I'm all set and no baggage check-in required for me." replied Buzzwordy.
"So all paper undergarments for the entire week?" questioned Bif sarcastically.
Buzzwordy grinned and moved his shoulder up and down slowly.
"Alright, lets find a bench where you and I can sit down and have a quick chat about Madam Fei. I just got an email from our sales agent in Shenzhen late last night and she warned me that Miss Fei is really looking forward to our meeting. Oh, she is really looking forward to meet you Buzzwordy!" said Bif in an elevated tone.
"Why?" asked Buzzwordy innocently.
"Well, she heard about your eccentricity and unique way of closing deals. Just remember, don't challenge her in the open and never look her straight in the eyes. You will find out when we get there!" commented Bif.
"Good grief Bif, is she a Medusa? Am I going to turn into a rock if I look her straight in the eyes?" laughed Buzzwordy incessantly.
Bif shook his head and pointed to an empty bench in front of them. He signaled Buzzwordy to sit down while he reached into his briefcase and pulled out an old folder.
"Everything that you need to know about our upcoming meeting in China is in this folder. Go and study all the materials during our flight to Hong Kong. You and I will spend a night in the city and head up to Shenzhen the next morning." said Bif as he handed the folder to Buzzwordy.
"This should keep me busy!" replied Buzzwordy.
What are the dark secrets inside the folder? See you all on Day Forty.
