I was just talking to someone else about how some of the bigger airports are basically small cities. It is pretty crazy the quality and amount of offerings that some of them have. Of course everything is vastly overpriced! I hope the rest of your journey goes well!

I suppose I was too young to really remember it clearly but I recall accompanying my father to the airport on business trips and I don't recall anything being for sale aside from some donuts and coffee. Commercialism has taken over the world, that is for sure. I think that for the major airports there is no flight reason why they need to be as large as they are, but they build all this retail space first and then putting actual gates is just an afterthought. They force us to walk though all of these areas because if the mall was off to the side I don't think very many people would go to it at all.
Yeah, those are some good points. It's just crazy how boutique and upscale style it has all become. It's like the prices weren't going to be high already, then they go and put high end stores and restaurants in there. It's like robbery.
