In this page we see more images of airports. The fast food court, people sleeping on uncomfortable benches, buying expensive duty free souvenirs. We see shapes of figures, the outside of an airport where cars are parked. Narration reads 'Countless overpriced meals and Fast Food have been consumed at these places. Sleepless nights. Last minute souveniers... Crossing paths with people you might never meet again. From places you might never get to see. A little microcosm of the planet and a petri dish of humanity. And the people come in all shapes and flavours; some of the wildest and most interesting specimens of humanity passing through, trying to get to their destinations. Regardless, there are some airports I visit more often than others and after a number of trips their dullness starts to transform into routine and maybe even a hint of endearing. They start feeling like a second home you get to share with a few thousand people at any given time. You start finding your favorite restaurants. Favorite seating spots, people watching areas.'.
