1. Introduction

For this assignment about ports I chose two airports: Beijing Capital International Airport and London Heathrow Airport. I chose these airports because they are both very big. Heathrow is one of the biggest in the world and Beijing transships a lot of cargo. In 2015 Beijing airport transshipped 1,831,167 tons of cargo. Beijing Capital International Airport is the main international airport serving Beijing. It is located 32 km northeast of Beijing's city center. The airport is owned by the Beijing Capital International Airport Company Limited, a state-controlled company. The airport's Airport code, PEK, is based on the city's former name: Peking.
Beijing Capital International Airport is the main hub for Air China, the flag carrier of the People's Republic of China, which flies to around 120 destinations (excluding cargo) from Beijing.

It is also the busiest airport in Europe since 2010. Heathrow airport is very easily accessible compared to the other airports in the United Kingdom. Heathrow Express is a non-stop service direct to London's Paddington station. trains leave every 15 minutes. It takes 15 minutes to get to the station.
Heathrow Connect is a stopping service to Paddington. Trains leave every 30 minutes. By using Heathrow Connect the journey would take 27 minutes to get to Paddington. London Underground (Piccadilly line): four stations serve the airport: Terminal 2 and 3, Terminal 4 and Terminal 5 serve the passenger terminal. The journey time from Heathrow Central to Central London is around 40–50 minutes

    Barnstaple Research Paper

    Having spent many years going to North Devon for holidays or to visit family, I had never until about two years ago ever visited the area that is known as Croyde Bay. Situated on the road out of Braunton (which is its nearest largest village hub with lots of shops and other services), it is on the coast that faces the Atlantic Ocean. How to get here For most people who are travelling from anywhere in the country apart from Cornwall, then access to Croyde is generally through Barnstaple - the main North Devon Link Road leads from Junction 27 of the M5 directly through to Barnstaple; you then follow signs to Braunton and Ilfracombe, and then Croyde and its neighbouring village Georgeham are signposted from here. If you are coming from Cornwall, then access is by way of the A39 Atlantic Highway which leads to Bideford - you then have to go through Barnstaple, and follow instructions as above (this trunk road also follows a more windy route to the M5 too but would take you a lot longer).…

    The Bloor-Yonge subway station the busiest station in the TTC with hundreds of thousands of people going through it every day. These huge crowds create chaos within the station during rush hours of the weekdays, making the average commuter frustrated and annoyed. While these times are testing of one's patience, the subway would not be the same without this epicenter of Toronto's commuters. The beginning of the day for most commuters on the Bloor-Yonge is remarkably difficult, with the walk out of the train full of jostling and elbowing, forcing the average subway rider to sidestep their way to the stairs. After this, they are huddled together with the rest of the passengers in the seemingly endless moving line for the stairs.…

    One bright and sunny day when I was ten, my cousin Tasnim, older brother Rafeed, dad and I were on the New York subway on our way to Ellis Island, which is where the Statue of Liberty stands. The subway was old and rusty and smelled like dead rats. I was really excited to go because I had never been to the Statue of Liberty although the ride on the subway wasn’t really “the ride of my life” so to pass the awful time my dad gave us some gum to chew on. Since my brother and I didn’t know how to blow a bubble my cousin decided to teach us, and I succeeded on my first try, but my brother, well he didn’t do so well. On his last try he blew so hard like the big bad wolf, his gum landed right on my cousin’s face and boy was she furious, I could see it in her eyes, the anger and regret forever trying to teach my brother how to blow a bubble gum.…
