Had been to Heathrow to pickup Kaushik on Saturday......this was the first time I was at the airport picking up someone in the evening (cos' all the BA flights arrive in the morning)....and it was teh first time I was at Terminal 3......it was fun standing at Arrivals and watching people...I anwyyas like doing that......just move in to a crowded place...like a shopping mall...pick a nice cosy corner from where u are inconspicuous .....buy a cup of coffee and then watch people....its a nice passtime...:-)).....and there are times when I have bursted in to peals of laughter looking at people's antics.....and what better place to indulge in this idiosyncracy than the airport.....

Most of the East Asian flights arrive in the evenings....so it was funny watching hordes of Japanese, Koreans, Chinese etc etc.......thronging the arrival area.....U can recognise the Japanese bcos of the amount of 'back bending' they do....they keep bowing...and Did U know that the angle of the japanese bend is directly proportional to the respect you want to give to the other person.Lower the bend.....more is the respect.....interesting ain't it?
Now I can identify among these nationalities...atleast I feel I can.....and the Japanese are the prettiest....of the lot....

The amazing thing about the asian community and I am talking abt East Asians...is the skin and hair......they are all like dolls......fragile dolls...with exquisite skin and hair....

Myself and Kaushik decided to visit Leicester Square on Saturday night.....it was an experience....was like the whole of London was at Leicester square.....One of these days I plan to go there on a Sat night and spend the night there......hv to find sumone who will accompany me ...:-)) ...will be boring alone....loitering about in the night....
