Terminal man
I was recently sitting in Terminal 2 at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, reading Terminal man, the tale about Merhan Karimi Nasseri who has been living in Terminal 1 of CDG for 16 years. That’s right. Terminal 1, the horrible concrete saucer.
“Passengers are reminded to keep their personal baggage with them at all times.”
I’ve been to this airport a dozen times, I’ve said it before and I’m saying it again: CDG is hell on Earth! A dirty gray bunker with no food available. Why would a starving man buy a Lacoste handbag? We even tried to look for food on the other side of the building, but was promptly stopped by the guards. I pity the poor souls who have to work at this infernal place.
“Passengers are reminded to keep their personal baggage with them at all times.”
Aargh. It was a long night. Perhaps I should have talked to the Terminal man for some advice?
Welcome to Charles de Gaulle Terminal 1. You can check out anytime you like but you can never leave.
Update: Nasseri left the airport in 2006.
