Dubai! It’s weird!
Monday, June 15th, 2009
Perhaps it would make a great new marketing slogan for the city, though my observations are probably clouded as I only spent just over two hours in the airport after a 15 hour flight. The first thing that strikes you about it, for a city in the United Arab Emirates, well it just doesn’t seam particularly Arab. After spending half the flight being force fed beer by the very friendly flight attendants and only getting about four hours sleep, I was pretty keen to stretch my legs. Local time: 5:30am. Temperature on the ground: 34ᴼ. Out of the plane, down the stairs, on to the tarmac. Nothing like the smell of humidity and Jet A in the morning. (more…)
