i saw the terminal the other night with lu and wayne... and shortly afterwards, i just knew - but couldn't specifically remember - that i'd heard of someone being stuck in an airport like that for a substantial amount of time in real life. and i've kept vaguely remembering that every time i step away from the internet, until now. voila, the story of merhan nasseri, who has been living in charles de gaulle airport since 1988. i remember clearly now, patrick c., who once played quiz bowl for riverdale and thus knows mind-blowing amounts of random trivia, told me to see if i couldn't locate mr. nasseri when i was heading out to be an exchange student.
