I recently visited Kaua’i Island in Hawai’i of the USA. While traveling from LAX to LIH, I had a layover of 22 hours. During this, I did some observation on the Terminal 4 of LAX. Here are some points for you.
- Saw a dwarf couple for the first time.
- People say thanks more than number of times you breathe.
- You end up paying more for a burger and a cup of coffee than for the dinner of 4 people in India.
- Pepsi Lays classical salted packet is almost 10 times the price we pay in India.
- Bottle of coke is almost 5 times the price in India.
- Amazing speed of free Wi-Fi internet and it’s free. Later on noticed that LHR (Heathrow Airport, London) offers free wi-fi access only for 45 minutes.
- Almost 80% of the staff including security and sanitation constituted women.
- Almost all who come to know that I am going to Hawaii and visiting US first time ever say this: first US visit to holiday in Hawaii? You are lucky, man. Enjoy!
- Hardly any digital camera. IPads and iphones only. Every Mom, Kid and Daddy seem to have it.
- Crowd and frequency of flights reminds you of Patiala bus-stand or Delhi’s Kashmiri gate if you want to refer to its recent renovation.
- Nike seems to be the favorite shoe brand.
- Some are wearing pullovers, jerseys while some are in ultra shorts.
- Water bottle costs almost 18 times the price in India.
- Charging sports are not available on all the gates.
- The floor is carpeted and you can sleep if you want to take rest. Not in vogue at Terminal 5 of Heathrow Airport, London.
