I landed in Paris not long ago, and I have already transferred to the departure gate. It was only a 30 minute bus-ride from terminal D to E :)

Cette megastructure is amazing. It has a constant crew of 50.000 people, which is more than my vernacular city's population.
 
This is my 7th time at Charles de Gaulle, I think, but every time my faith drives me here I get fascinated by this engineering miracle. You spend at least half an hour just taxiing through the endless runways, forever in construction and under improvement. From time to time, a bigger birdie passes in either a horizontal or a vertical direction. Under your wheels, streams of TGVs and Autoroutes are flowing constantly. It is simply staggering and I get driven away every time. How can they keep that running, forever on the edge?
 
CDG has a scent of its own. You have to experience it, to catch the idea. Daily fligths interconnect 6 continetns and all kinds of people can be seen or met here, it is very diverse. Recently I borrowed my laptop to an Indian elderly monsieur, but there are Americanized Japanese wearing orange Hello Kitty trousers and Afrcian tribal leaders literally dressed into leaves. The American terminal is the most diverse, I think. Aborigines of a Pacific Island, Nigerian Swedish and Eastern European Romanian Hongrois can all be found here. Everbody with a unique style of its own, enough to stare at for a couple of minutes.
 
Amúgy a Malév járat egészen kellemes volt idáig, hamar elröppent az ido. Lehajtottam az asztalkát és origamiztam, a mellettem ülo 5 éves kislány nagy örömére :) Kaptunk egy szendvics(ké)t is, de már nagyon éhes vagyok. CDG-n az Amerikai(E) terminálon nincs ingyen net, úgyhogy ezt most notepadbe írom. (update: de van, visszafele megtaláltam)
 
I just cannot stand descents... The more serious is my flu, the harder it gets. I felt that my eardrums will be blown out in a matter of seconds. I started chewing and screeching my teeth, that a helped a bit. I still have my eardrums, notwithstanding they are battled.

 Paris from above is beautiful. There was a slight smog or fog, so only the Eifell Tower and the La Défense rose above the cloud carpet. And above, the sky was as blue as the magnificent lakes of Plitvice. That was all I could see. I hope to catch another glimpse during the ascent. (update: wrong, I did not) I'll ride on the upper deck of the 747 birdie. I've never flown upper deck before, so I am really looking forward to it and my camare will be at hands (update: didnát have :)).
