Picture dicussion, wei fong

By looking at this picture, I am sure that this is a waiting area in Changi airport. We can infer from the fact that a lot of people in the picture is holding on to huge luggage and plastic bags containing the items that they brought from the shops in the airport. Adding to the facts, there is also a clock hanging on the ceiling so that the people at the waiting area can take note of the time on which they board their plane. By judging the skin colour of the people, I guess that most of them are from the same country, but only a minority of the people are not. I think that this minority are Singaporeans that are going overseas. Other than that, I can also conclude that most of the people visited the same shop. This can be easily identified by the same shopping bag that most of the people are holding on to. I am quite certain that these bags contain souvenirs that they want to bring back to their countries. In addition, I guess that the people in the waiting area are all very eager to board the plane. This can be illustrated by the smiles on their faces.

From my perspective, I think that the man wearing a grey shirt at the right hand corner of the picture seems to feel a bit nervous about boarding the plane. The expression on his face looks as if he was going to throw up. I think that this must be the second time he board a plane, after his first experience on the plane. Furthermore, I think that he is trying to calm himself down before he board the plane, which can easily explain why he didn’t talk too much to the man eating, whom I believe should be his friend. Adding on, I think that he is trying to hide his feelings from the camera by holding a brave front but it is very obvious that he was not doing it quite properly with his hands clenched together and his forceful smile. I think that he does want to show that he was feeling uneasy in front of his friends fearing that they might laugh at him.

After this picture is taken, I think that there will be a flight attendant who will announce the time for boarding the plane and leading the tourist into the plane. After all the passenger in the waiting area had boarded the plane, I believed that the flight attendant will make a last call for those passengers who had not board the plane before the plane take flight.

I think that this picture is taken as evidence to show that the people had been to Changi airport before and to show that Singapore is still a tourist attraction for most of the tourists, welcoming people from different countries for a tour around Singapore. Thus, making Singapore a famous tourist attraction.
