604: Living at an airport

Curious about what REALLY happens at YVR airport? Check out the video diaries of a man who lived 80 days @ YVR last year...   http://liveatyvr.tumblr.com/


 From http://liveatyvr.tumblr.com/about:  In celebration of YVR’s 80th anniversary, Vancouver Airport Authority launched a contest to find someone to live at YVR for 80 days and share the stories of the airport with the world. That’s right. Live here. Sleep here. Eat here. Shop here. For 80 consecutive days.
Vancouver resident Jaeger Mah was selected by public vote to take on the challenge. From August 17 to November 4, 2011, he has access to the people, places and behind-the-scenes spaces most have never seen. Until now.
As the official Live@YVR correspondent, Jaeger will sleep at The Fairmont Vancouver Airport Hotel, live in the YVR community and tell the stories of YVR’s 23,600 employees and 400 businesses. And he can’t leave the airport’s Sea Island home for the duration of the 80 days. Not even once.
Follow along as Jaeger uncovers the stories behind YVR and shares the triumphs—and trials—of living at an airport full time.
