Tunnel between Heathrow 5A and 5B. Nobody else here, just me.

I'm used to the new CT scanners at airport security. Fast Track at Heathrow Terminal 5 doesn't have them yet. It felt weird. They found my bottle of water and threw it.

On the walk from the airport to my hotel I passed a tower of fork lifts.

In my hotel room there's a motion sensor activated light under the bed.

In my hotel room, there's a photo of someone in bed with a dog. This is Germany, so naturally, the dog is eating a pretzel.

Back at Frankfurt airport. Today I'm flying to Seoul with MIAT, a Mongolian airline. I've got a fifteen hour layover in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. My hold bag is checked all the wait to Seoul.

The jetway computer says "Detecting IDE drives...", which doesn't inspire confidence.
