Baggage reclaim. They've hired someone to make sure luggage doesn't hit the side of the conveyor belt when it is belched out from the depths of the airport. He even makes sure they're facing the right way up (possibly for easy identification). Two ironies:
The arrival hall is quiet for such a large hall. People hold cards with names. No point looking - no one's waiting, which is fine but it does reflect the sad part that I might not even be returning in the first place. And yet, the headscarves of Muslim women - a sign of religious piety or the suppression of human rights depending on which side you're on - is a welcoming sight.
- So much for technology and machinery replacing human workforce.
- Whilst waiting to disembark from the plane, workers could be seen outside the windows throwing luggage carelessly into transport carts.
