Aeropuerto Internacional Jorge Chávez

All these thoughts went through his mind while waiting in the airport. After a slight delay the plane landed and our hero waited at the arrival area. There he saw something strange. There were hundreds of people waiting. He asked his driver why. He was told that this is very common in Lima. When a person arrived from abroad the whole family came to pick him up. Everybody dressed up and went to the airport. For each person arriving there could be 10-15 people waiting for him. Anyway fortunately his wife did not have to wait in the immigration line. Because of the child she had preferential treatment. So after a while both of them came out to the arrival area. Our hero was very happy. The baby saw him and immediately smiled. Our hero forgot about everything the central offices, the HR director, the CFO and hugged his family. He will never forget that moment.
