So today I had to pick up Jackie and some of our colleagues from the airport. At the same time, it was a good chance to go and "register" my friend with the immigration folks who sit at the airport desk.
Amazingly enough, they actually have some electronic security equipment when you go into the airport now! I'm really impressed with how far that airport has come in the past few years. There's really a lot more "system" to it now. Really, very impressive. Though it's still a bit of a shock to people coming from outside the country :) Anyway, we got through the metal detector with no problems, and found our way to the immigration desk.
At the desk, we found my friend who is always very kind to us now that he knows we work with our Richard! He's the same one who was, um, well, shall we say, a little difficult before. But now that he knows me, he's really very pleasant. When he looked up and saw me standing at his desk, he broke out in a huge grin (and he really does have a nice smile) and said, "Oh! You've become fat!". To which I replied, with an equally huge grin on my face, "Thank you. I've been in Canada!".
