Airport Dweller Ends 80-Day Stint

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.
