Clapping on a Plane
We just got back from the Mid-Winter Rally in Hermeskeil, Germany. Lots of blog posts came to mind while I was there, so I’ll be posting a little more frequently.
One thing I love about flying on a plane with Italians is that they almost always applaud when the plane lands. I’ve been on longer international flights when everyone applauds just because we finally get to get off the plane. But even on short Italian flights, as soon as all three wheels are on the ground, the crowd goes wild. It’s kind of a fun thing.

When I was flying all over Europe last year, I got so used to clapping when the plane landed that I started to do it when we landed in Chicago! Not cool. My seatmate looked at me kinda funny and then laughed. Good times, good times.
