Compared to airports and airline lounges, there aren't many more mind-numbing places that I can think of.
Perhaps because it is filled with people on their way to someplace else, the vibe is often restless, and busy in a million directions but here. Add on the queues, luggage waiting and hauling and weird displaced hours that don't belong in a day, and the novelty of duty-free shopping quickly runs out.
But then again, how do you make more hospitable a place that is built for the sole purpose of getting out of?
