London Heathrow Airport

This was my first time to Heathrow airport and my first impression is....

complicated yet confusing😂

well, it could be because of it being an old airport and additional terminals built over the years, hence trying to connect to each terminal is kinda challenging.

Also, i find that the signboards are all over the place (which is good but also confusing for a first timer in Heathrow). Other major airports like Schiphol, Changi, Dubai or Incheon did it better.

And I could easily guess alot of people got lost and miss flight with such design. Even the immigration officers diligently remind us (and other travelers) to allow ample time when transiting to another terminal.

Not to mention the technology & process is slightly outdated, where paper tokens are still in used....even for free train transfer. Most train stations nowadays got rid of paper, just use token coin or nothing at all (since it is free train ride). I'm sure there's a way to simplified the process as well as to reduce the printing consumables.

Anyway, technology aside....I can see their staffs are doing their best in making things easier for travelers, without them i would still goin around in loop at the underground train station😂 (i m that 'frog under the coconut shell' first timer in London Underground).

After spending some time 'under the ground', i need to get some sunlight....

Eventually, it was 7am plus...just right on time to capture the beautiful sunrise. 

While i was still in 'confused' and 'sleepy' mode, i made my way to the exit for an outdoor morning breeze and sunlight.

The temperature was around 7 degree Celcius. It was a cool autumn morning.

Quiet & peaceful morning out there...only crazy people (like me) would want to stand outside at such cold temperature.

But immediately i was awake with that cool breeze hitting my face. My mood lightened up seeing that morning sun.

After a few minutes, i got back in and went to refresh myself and had breakfast at Plaza Premium.

It costs 30 pounds for 2 hours.

Eat first....work later....

Here's my greedy plate of food😂

Bacons, sausages, croissant, scrambled eggs, lettuce, sauteed mushrooms, cakes....etc....sweet & savoury food all in one plate.

After makan, back to work...until the final minute before boarding.

Well, if u are wondering where i went....

Take a guess (from the below picture)😉
