My
friend flew over from Ohio has arriving on a Saturday evening. I spend extra
3 hours in the newly build international terminlal of the San Francisco
Airport. This supposed to be the largest international terminal in the US,
offering wide ranges of services including top-class restaurtants, souvenior
shops, museum, art galleries, etc. The people who designed the terminal
want it to be a popular spot for weekend get-aways. |

Inside the terminal was rather dark and cool. One large room is filled with
check-in counters. The whole structure is supported by numbers of column.
Quite nice. There were only a few people when I visited the place.

Looking down the people deperating to Asia. Each deperature lounge has
its own unique art on the wall. Some of them are painting, others are
objects of music instruments.

After
all, what I liked the most were the people in the airport. Some of them
looked very busy, others were bored to death by waiting for airplanes.

officer walking down the gate in a hurry. She did not pay any attention
to the art on the wall of a deperature lounge.

A passenger walked across a dark round waiting lounge. If I could take
a few seconds earlier, the shadow of the person would be more clear against
the bright shop.

| I used to love to visit airport
when I was a small kid. My grandpa used to take me to the then-Tokyo-international
airport, Haneda, every weekend. This time, I found SFO international airport
to be quite boring. |
