I've been to the HK airport a number of times, you really don't get the feeling that it is any different from any other airport. Had you not just told me it was built out over the ocean, I would have never known.

Also like all those tech/engineering shows, but I'm an engineer so that should go without saying.

I've never been to Japan, but I've heard that their ****ter technology is years ahead of American best practices.

my bad I was thinking of Korea and stated Japan.

Anyone not interested in these just isn't a real Civ player IMO.

Done Eurostar several times, either with a car or as a foot passenger.

Almost did the Millau Viaduct one time but it was in the wrong direction.

I've not done the airports, but I did do the old HK Kai Tak airport where you're literally flying past the windows of skyscrapers as you're landing...

Yeah, when I saw this it reminded me of the airport in Telgulciagalpa Honduras, the pilot said landing between the mountains there were as close to landing on an aircraft carrier

If you are looking for "interesting" airports, then http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A1gar_Airport is worth invetigation. Think that madeira is in same category.

Ancient Aliens pisses me off. These *******s seem to think that ancient people were really dumb and wouldn't know how to build a latrine without extraterrestrial assistance.

WTF!?!?!?!?

Were you comatose with a heavy bag over your head!? Imagine being in a 747 that's banking so sharply it feels like it's evading a missile - not to mention looking out the window and feeling you could almost reach out and touch some of the skyscrapers you're whizzing past whilst rapidly losing altitude!

I think you must be thinking of the new airport as Kai Tak has been closed almost 13 years.

WOW!
they would have to clean my seat when they landed!

As Tupac raps, Narita airport in Tokyo isn't impressive to me. Hong Kong's airport is really nice and modern. Haven't been to Beijing's new terminal, but that is supposed to be just enormous.

My favorite airport terminal is right in my back yard -- the new terminal at Washington Reagan National Airport. Small, but really quite nice.

Beijing's airport is so big that you need to take a plane just to switch terminals.
