Inside the station

I walked around the station yesterday morning so that I could take some pictures that I could post here. So that you get a feeling for how the inside of the station looks like. Not that I had to walk much... After all, the station is relatively small. ;)

So let's start with the galley (see above). That was Sunday morning before the crowed showed up for brunch. To the right would be the counter where you get food. The three monitors on the ceiling show in a loop all the important information of current day, like how many flights are planned to come in, if they are delayed, what the weather is like, the recreational things going on, the current water and fuel consumption etc.

That is one of the hallways (1st floor), connection the different wings of the station.

The laundry room. Each person is allowed to wash one washing machine load per week. Again, water and waste water restrictions. There is only cold washing available, and if you want to wash different colored things (like light and dark) you are supposed to team up with somebody so that you use on average only one load per person.

The library. Also known as the quiet reading room. Lots and lots of books, and nice chairs and couches to sit on.

 The gym. It is actually big enough to hold a full sized basketball court. But people do not only play basketball there. This is the place for most of the sports activities (soccer, basketball, badminton, Kung Fu, volleyball), and the recreational activities like salsa or swing dancing.
