Canadian man to sleep in airport for 80 days
18/08/2011
One man is to set up his bed in Vancouver airport after winning a competition to spend 80 days and nights confined within the facility.
Jaegar Mah, 29, beat off competition from 95 other hopefuls to win the live@yvr contest, which was launched to mark the airport's 80th birthday.
He will be sharing his experiences via a range of media, including a daily blog and posts made on Facebook and Twitter.
"We're going to be out there in public capturing everything from fuelling the planes, to helping the planes take off, to eating the best tasting food inside the planes," he said in a video posted before his stint in the terminal.
Mr Mah is unable to leave the airport during the 80-day period and will have to sleep and eat inside the building.
The competition winner said his first investigation would be into what happens to confiscated items.
