Flight BA85, at Vancouver international airport, 19:30pm

Just arrived at Vancouver from London Heathrow. I was waiting for the flight door to open and enter the ‘real space’ of Vancouver. It was still the sound of flight engine while we were waiting for the door to open. Everyone seemed to want nothing but the door to open. Walking from the flight cabin to the bridge is the first environmental sound of Vancouver a tourist can hear. Walking from the bridge to the flight cabin is the last sound of Vancouver. When I was thinking about recording that moment of sound, crowd started to move forward. I had to follow. There are always sounds missed to be recorded like this—when you think about it, it’s too late. Anyway, welcome to Vancouver.
