I haven’t traveled much recently but on Friday took off and the plane went over my little hometown of Bellingen.
It made me think of the big cities I’ve peered out the window at on arrival: Sao Paolo 22m, Beijing 20m, Tokyo 38m, Shanghai 26m and NY 19m. And here’s little old Bello with 3k people. I’m good with that.
