England - London - Greeters with Chinese name cards Heathrow Airport

Greeting drivers await their passengers to arrive off a flight from Beijing. In the hectic international arrivals concourse of Heathrow's Terminal 5, the men hold up name boards to attract the attention of those Chinese nationals who are new students at a Bournemouth language college called Education First (EF), based on England's south coast. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).
