Recordist's notes

Starts with the escalator, but the one that leads directly into the platforms. Shortly after arriving there someone asks for money. This is one of the big differences to the time before Corona: the beggars are more bluntly asking for money. They were there before, but since there are less people and people are giving less money (like me), they have to ask more. In a recording I did.a little bit later at the trainstation of the airport a man complains that the situation has become more difficult... There is an anouncement with a sound I never heard before, the voice asking people not to stay on the platform (as far as I understand).
