A 29-year-old Canadian man is ending his 80-day stint living at Vancouver’s International airport today. Jaegar Mah won the Live@YVR contest,
which was created to celebrate the airport’s 80th birthday. He moved in
August 17th and has been spending his nights at the Fairmont Vancouver
Airport hotel. During his 80-day “vacation,” Mah has learned of the
inner workings of an airport, including which VIP lounges will feed him
and which have the best snacks. Mah has been documenting his stay on
Facebook, blogs and Twitter, all with a digital camera. “I want to
devote my life to telling stories,” he says. “You could call it some
kind of journalism.” While in the airport, Mah visited its wildlife
operations center as well as the dentist, where he found out he had five
cavities. Mah says now that his stay is over he is looking forward to
doing his own laundry and being able to buy bunches of bananas or apples
– anything in bulk rather than the airport’s preferred single-servings.
