Friday the 13th...

... deserves a rehabilitation of its bad reputation! Why are the two digits 1 and 3 so suspicious that in some hotels there is no 13th floor? And what has Friday to do with it? Friday the 13th turned out to be a perfect travel date for me. Why?

Drive to Manila airport: smooth 45 minutes (an almost unique event in Manila's morning rush hour)!

Check in: smooth 30 minutes (my suitcase was perfectly fine within weight limits, lines at travel tax booth, passport & security check fairly short).

Flight to Amsterdam: smooth and “spacious” 14 hours (after my middle seat neighbor was offered an isle seat and had moved).

Transfer in Amsterdam: smooth and quick 20 minutes (Schiphol airport is huge but again, lines at immigration were surprisingly short).

Arrival in Berlin Tegel: smooth (with a friend pick-up and a late whole wheat bread midnight snack at her place).


So, why again does Friday the 13th have such a bad reputation?
