A Comment About Airports

I don't think there's really agreement about what's the best airport in the world. Some are new and flashy, some are cute and handy, some are really easy to get to, some are just cool.
There is (or at least should be) wall-to-wall agreement about the worst airport. That has to be, without doubt, and with a huge margim, CDG airport in Paris.
It is crap in every single aspect – absolutely nothing about it is even remotely acceptable, let alone cool. No other city could possibly get away with that disgrace, but Paris has so many good things about it - they can afford a crappy one...
It's the only airport I have ever seen in the shape of a huge skinny bagel. I guess the idea was to make sure you ill get to where you need to be no matter what direction you go in (signage sucks) but because it's so big – one wrong turn and you'll be walking for the next hour (and signs will keep promising you, you are on your way).
Because it is so skinny, you can't really form proper lines, and given airports are all about queuing, the whole thing is annoying annoying annoying.
Waiting for my flight to Madrid to start boarding. Spain- here I come!!!!!!
