The Palomino
It's a little bar/restaurant situated in the Westjet terminal at Vancouver Airport. The food is lousy, and the beer is definitely overpriced... but there's something awesome about that place.
The wall to the left is all windows, and offers a great view of both the tarmac and the runway. I usually just grab the corner table near the window and a couple of drinks. I'll draw a picture or two, fool around with my laptop... and sometimes even attempt some homework.
The afternoon sun is only ever broken by the occasional shadow of a plane; and the staff generally tend to be pretty mellow. There's an overall feeling of coolness to that place... I can't help but wonder where all those planes are coming from; or going to for that matter. Sometimes I'll catch myself looking at my credit card and thinking "where could I wind up today?"
There are 4 experiences in the world (at the moment) that are special to me. Having a few drinks at the Palomino is one of them

I always wondered about the unique problems that living in staff quarters would pose... being around the same small group of people, gossip, and other likewise BS...
the horror of being trapped living AND working with the same people who you may or may not get along with..
How do you do it?
I've had a hard enough time as it is living in a small town and working at the same resort as my ex-boyfriend...
