"there's
still a strange sense of community where, even if we are all suspicious of each
other and are sure someone is going to steal all our money, we're all sleeping
on the same benches and will all wake up with the exact same pain in our backs
as we stand in the check in line." (Nadine)
"there are always Police and Security

"I was having a bad day, and I wanted to just rest for a
wee while. I knew of the lounge sofa things. I forgot how
comfortable these were!
I lay there for a few hours watching the clouds, and spoke to
some cute lass also. I did fall asleep and got a nice kip.
It will get quieter at night time, but be aware of the clanking
lift doors, which I really wanted to break. Everyone just went
their way and I was left to my own peace, and it was a peaceful
area (bar the lift doors).
Space to sprawl out, and there are other options also, like big
leather massage chairs (no need to pay just to sit)."
