CDG – Now I Remember Why I Don’t Like It
In Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris. Haven’t been here for years, but remember vaguely not liking it. Now I know why. It takes 15 minutes to get from the runway to the terminal building. That’s not including the time required to get the gantries in place, etc – just taxiing time. Security is both shite [...]

Virginia – Day 2

You expect to see posters and ads, but there are a huge number of people walking around wearing stickers, pins and t-shirts for candidates. Even children are feeling ownership of the campaign. This sign is up in a garden in Alexandria, just [...]
