After applying his wax crayon, he wet the stone with a mixture of water and gum arabic, and then covered the surface with ink. The water-resistant crayon markings took the ink. but the moisture elsewhere repelled it.

Gum wrappers and blobs of melting ice cream litter the floors; jammed in the corridors are scales, fortunetelling machines, knickknack shops, gum dispensers, rusty refuse baskets, and hundreds of blinking neon lights. To get to and from their planes, passengers must walk nearly a quarter of a mile.
