Describe a train station or an airport that you have been to

The place I would like to describe is Istanbul Airport, where I spent almost ten hours last year during a layover on my way to Spain. It is one of the biggest airports in the world, and I have never seen anything like it.

When I arrived, I was struck by how enormous the terminal was. The ceiling is very high, with a modern design in white and grey, and everything is spotlessly clean. There are hundreds of shops, from luxury brands to small souvenir stores, as well as dozens of restaurants and even a small museum in one section. Since I had a very long wait, I walked around for hours. First I had a proper meal, then I found a quiet area with comfortable seats and a charging point, where I read and answered messages. Later I went through the shops and bought some Turkish sweets for my family. There were people from every country, speaking all sorts of languages, and it was fascinating to watch.

I had rather mixed feelings about being there. On the positive side, the airport was comfortable and convenient, and the signs were clear, so I never felt lost. I also enjoyed the international atmosphere, which made me feel as though I was already travelling. But because the terminal is so big, I had to walk for about twenty minutes to get to my gate, and by the end I was tired and bored. Still, if I had to wait somewhere for ten hours, I could hardly think of a better place.
