Airports are the hardest places on earth to concentrate.  There are a billion people walking around; people are talking to each other; people are talking on their cell phones (some conversations are literally one-sided:  there's no one on the other end); airline employees at the gate yell incoherent babble about certain people checking in and about boarding by zones; the recorded voice on the intercom constantly drones about not accepting strange packages from people (who actually does that?).  And I sit there, trying to read a book.  It's impossible.  But some people can do it.  I'm amazed by these people.  They're totally engrossed in what they're reading and wouldn't look up even if a bomb went off.  I wish I had that level of concentration. #travel
