vacation had officially begun! I walk out of the sliding doors to collect my rental car (Turo, of course) and am approached by this frazzled looking Asian gentleman. He asks me in broken English if I knew where the "up" escalator was. I did not. He let out a frustrated gasp and started up the "down". Literally a minute or two later, I succumbed to my urges, and took a video of his continued efforts. It took him a good while to make it to the top, and once there he doubled over with his hands on his knees to catch his breath. I started vacation with a smile, pondering the curious irony of finding joy in another persons frustration. Guess we've all been there...
