Still the same :-) Rainy and crowded. Terminal 5 is much nicer than old ones, though. You've got to admire the British for being so geniunely proud of serving a bowl of oatmeal and calling it a breakfast of aristocracy. Still, I got to talk with the chatty neighbour on the way there and it's just amazing how things are so expensive while most people make relatively little money. Makes you wonder - where is all that demand for expensive goods and services coming from when average income is 40k or so. I mean, taxi ride will be easily 30 pounds or so, ride on the tube for god's sake is 5 pounds - paying 8% just for transportation, let alone housing - that's ridiculously high share of income. Oh, and lots and lots of Russian speech :-)
