Terminal 1's parking garage roof is one of my favourite places to go at night.
Terminal 2's parking garage is stunning, a trophy to 80's concrete, listing
surruptitiously in a striking attempt to immitate the seductive angles of
Disney's A-Framed Contemporary Resort. And the lighting on the road that goes
up there is *flawless*, straight out of Metro's Vendome station. Terminal 2
from the exterior is what 2032 looked like in 1977. AND I LOVE THAT. I wish
the entire world could look like that. Like, Arthur Erickson, he was the s***.
He had it goin' on. Look at this:

Like, come on. It doesn't get any better than that.

But compared to 3, yeah. And then now this, holy crap. I can't wait to see the
interior of the Central Processor at night.

I'm sure there's an IE answer to it, but I didn't see anything wrong with the
arrivals hall. I think it's really gorgeous. Espically the baggage claim area
- the whole Terminal is soooo space station.
