Departure

New York, its there here right now. After half a year of thinking and dreaming about it, planning and organising everything- the day has finally come-The Departure in London Heathrow.

I was stopped at the aiport by to police men, who asked me a few questions regarding my journey. As I still had lots of time, we started a conversation about new, york, england, germany, cross country history etc...

After a while we crossed the movie Terminal with Tom Hanks, when the conversation suddenly turned real interesting.

For everyone who did not know: The movie is based on a real story that happend at a Parisian Airport- and even better: its happening life at Heathrow!

There a about a hundred people living at the airport. They go out daytimes, some of them take a shower before, some of them don't- , stay away and come 'home' in the night.

They know the airport inside out and always find some hidden places to sleep.

The police is not allowed to kick them out, as they would be convicted for murder if something would happen to them (hmm)

Indeed there was one man who had the guds to complain to the airport: " he had been biten by flews!" -which of course where his own!

One men in his 60s, was an architect with family- that was before his nervous breakdown and he found some new friends at Heathrow, too.
