This was how RMS felt when he received in Delhi
I arrived at Delhi at 3am on a flight that had been delayed by an hour and a half. I had expected to do a lot of work on the flight, but I was unexpectedly drowsy and nodded off for a few hours. When I arrived at the airport, the wait for passport control was only 20 minutes, and I spent part of the time explaining free software to another passenger who was curious about it. My bag was already in the carousel when I reached it, so I exited into the terminal and passed along the line of people holding up signs. None had my name on it. The person who was supposed to meet me was not there.
The guy was waiting outside all the while. Perhaps that should have been added to the summary? Changes the way the summary ends. AFAIK, in Delhi airport, you are charged for waiting inside the airport. I wonder who was there to receive RMS, but that person probably wanted to avoid this fee.
