I'm in the Dubai airport right now. Arrived from Jo'Burg at 4:45am and fly to Bangkok at 8:40. I perused the insane duty free for a bit, amongst the burka-clad women applying MAC cosmetics and the men testing golf clubs - all a bit surreal. I don't have time to see the city but I'll see all of the skyscrapers from the plane - including the building with the tennis court on the roof. The flight was luxurious to say the least. There are cameras on the front and bottom of the plane so you can watch take-off and landing. They served a four course meal, offered 50 movies and the BEST music catalog I've ever seen. They had best of Otis Redding, Miles Davis, Chet Baker...Madonna! What more does a boy need? I arrive in Bangkok around 7pm and Soraya gets in around 11. Looking forward to seeing a familiar face - it can get lonely on the road. ;-)
Did I mention we fly through Tokyo on the way home and we're staying for 2 nights?!? That's gonna be a trip. I'm already experiencing culture shock from my travels through rural Africa - my senses will be on overload. It's all worth it, though. There is nothing better than traveling abroad. You learn things you could never learn in a book. By now, I can fill shelves with what I've learned. And hope to fill many more...
