What a wet trip - from Zurich to London on to New York and back again - rainy in all locations. There were a few sunny breaks, but they never happened while I was flying.
My first experience with Heathrows' terminal 5, however, was rush, rush, rush, and wait. Before the rushing part, we did have a chance to look around at the recently opened terminal.
Created by Troika, an art and design studio in London, “Cloud” is a digital sculpture housed at the luxury lounges in Heathrow Terminal 5. It’s a smooth-shaped object suspended in the air, covered with 4638 “flip dots” - motorized metal patches that change orientation to produce various patterns.
The sculpture is located in Terminal 5 in the atrium hall which leads to the British Airways First Class Lounges. The brief from British Airways was open and simple: to create a signature piece that will mark the entrance of the First Class Lounges and signify the transition between the busy shopping floor and the calm and serenity of the lounges.
And then we arrived in New York City.
The Chrysler Building looked fantastic (it was sunny then). It's always been my favorite building in Manhattan.
We had a group dinner at Tao Restaurant. Tao provided an authentic Asian atmosphere, but unremarkable food. It makes a better bar than restaurant.
There was a 50-minuted delay into LCY, a 4 1/2 hour delay departing LHR and a 1/2 hour delay out of JFK. I hope it's sunny in Zurich...
