Airports..

Austin..
Short and sweet..Nothing major out there.Just the regular check-in counters;escalators and gates.Occasional eateries such as the Burger King/McD's.The place is clean and traffic free.The bookshops become a regular place to hang around with friends and click some parting snaps.

Los Angeles..
Messy and crowded..Hate the walk between the domestic and the international terminal.Loved the grass between the terminals though.Took a 1 hr break lying on the grass and gazing at the sky above continuosly being disturbed by flying planes.
The toilets were dirty and the terminal inside was crowded with people with a lot of diversity in terms of their nationality.

Singapore Changi..
Any flyer's paradise.Such a lovely aura surroundin the place.One never gets the feeling that ones in between a long journey.The internet kiosks and the well-lit shops just give a pleasant feeling.The places earmarked for resting are just so relaxin.No qualms about spending 17 hrs when its Changi.The bathrooms are equivalent to star Hotels'.Didn't venture into the prayer halls but the thought of it itself made me feel good.

Tokyo Narita..
Good enough airport.But the distinct smell all throughout the airport makes one feel dirty.Can't forget that stink even now.The shops and the coffee places are all damn expensive and not at all attractive.One just wishes that the 1 hr halt just speeds off in a few minutes.

Chennai ..
The dirtiest one..But yet the best one in terms of the feeling one gets looking at things which one has always been used to.The Nescafe outlet and the std/isd telephone booths and not to forget - near and dear ones waiting for more than an hour with anxious eyes looking at every passenger coming out of the exit,hoping it to be the one they wish is.
The feeling when meeting one's folks after a tiring journey is priceless.All the weariness and worries just vanish for a few minutes until the reality dawns that few of the bagages have not yet reached the destination!
