After a thorough scanning of our stuff (twice), we finally got to our terminal and got us a couple of chairs, before I decided to kill some time by walking around the terminal. At this point, I had almost forgotten that it was Christmas. And obviously, the big trees reminded me.
The tree might not look that big, but it was pretty dang big and was flashing.
This is pretty much what the terminal looked like. It had shops after shops for like 100 yards. And we're not talking about same-old Starbucks sitting in every five shops in Atlanta Concourses. It's more like a couple of duty-free stores in International wing in Hartsfield-Jackson E Concourse. But like 10 times bigger. It was more like a mall.
I don't know if you know, but I'm not real big on shopping. But there are some stores that I can go in & stay for hours such as Academy Sports, Dick's, and Best Buy. Well, there was this electronics store in here, and I decided I needed an extra microSD card cuz my phone was running out of spaces. It wasn't too overpriced, so it was a good buy.
I did other things too, like walking around sports stores overwhelmed by Manchester United stuff. I also bought some postcards (this is my tradition when I go overseas), and some key chains.
Some Brits are also gangstas like some UGA athletes, or all of the athletes. I think I even saw Drew Butler wear these Beats by Dr. Dre once, and he's like the whitest athlete on campus. I remember them being quite expensive though, even more so than the US.
Another Christmas tree; I think that there were about three throughout the terminal. I'm sure there were more in other terminals though.
...And here is the pic of other terminal over the windows. Apparently, there are like 5 terminals in Heathrow, so that gives about 15 Christmas trees, pretty cool. There were all kinds of people at the airport; I noticed a high Indian/Middle Eastern population, people sleeping, college kids going on trips, and many different types of languages hovering around us.
We were munching on the beef jerkies that we had for a while, but we got tired of it soon. So we decided to go to a restaurant to kill time and eat some good food. At least until now, money wasn't an issue. We wanted some GOOD (and filling) food.
