Excuse me, dahrlings, but...

We're On The Wrong Side

Looking to expand your business, dahrlings? Go east, young entrepreneur. And I don’t mean Halifax. 

In case you haven’t noticed, Asia’s exploding. The travel industry over where the sun rises makes Canada’s ITC Inc. look like Horton’s Whoville. The place is hopping with new airlines, operators and loads of newly minted passengers.

Doesn’t that always happen? Right when you get the hang of things, you figure out you’re on the wrong side of the planet. Red Tag has the right colours, so no problemo. People might have trouble pronouncing Ensemble (lord knows I do). Uniglobe, on the other hand, is way ahead of all of us.

I look particularly fetching in a Sari, so I’m heading for India. There are dozens of airline execs to fascinate with my uniqueness. The trick is to brush up on local customs. So what is it with the cows over there? I have to let them crush my gardenias whenever they please? I’d prefer to BBQ the thing. On second thought… maybe Asia isn’t ready for me.
