Probability

In the shitty upstairs restaurant at Noi Bai airport, Hanoi. I needed to go there for wifi and electricity:


"Excuse me. I can't hear the airport announcements from here."


-- "Yes?"


"Can I hear the announcements here? The flights? The times?"


-- "No. Can not. What time your flight?"


"It's 1.30 - to Singapore."


-- "That's ok. [smiles] Someone comes to tell you."


"Really? Always? They always come and check?"


[smiles and points at the escalator]

-- "Yes they come."


"Really? Always? They always come and check?"


[smiles and looks me in the eye]

-- "Not always"


"Sorry. But. They will come here or not?"


-- "Usually. Yes."


[Smiles again and looks down at the bottle of prescription pills that seems to have appeared in her hand.]
