Plane journey - fairly uneventful much to my disappointment. Food was AWESOME, eating like a king! One thing that strikes me is how many face cloths they insists on handing out - its almost like waitressing (when you have nothing to do water and wine your table) they hand out hot flannels. I suppose it prevents people from smelling! And to my delight they have recognised my tea addiction and return every 30minutes or so to top me up with a brew and have learnt to bring extra milk. Clearly just loving my patterson chitter chat on my regular stroles up and down the aircraft ! (I also got a lot of attention parading onto the plane with ski boots on my back. )
One thing I've learnt the hard way - is get comfortable BEFORE those around you, as it's every man for himself on these flying busses !! I have tried every possible position (besides attempting the head stand) and none seem to be doing the trick, my bum still is numb! Ah well on the other hand plane entertainment is top notch! Movies ,games, tv series! Even movies that are in the cinema. The highlight has to be the emirates version of angry birds - angry planes , sensational! New highscore results in a victory lap of the plane. Also, there is cameras on the front and bottom of the plane so you get a very scenic tour of the world as the sun is now rising. Kinda cool. Pritty much exploited all good will of the staff on board I feel and definitely rinsed the entertainment system .. And this is the sortest section of my journey ! Uho
Made friends too! Well - I got cornered. Sitting next to a lovely lady who is name sounds something like meja ... She is form Dubai!! Her chat is good although every time we hit turbulence she begins a long process of praying. Which consequently brings our conversation to a halt. I wont lie it is a little disconcerting but at least one god is on our side if anything bad were to happen? Unfortunatly I don't think our friendship will blossom as it appears to be an increasingly bumpy flight - who knows what will happen on landing ... I feel I should join in !
Not too long until we land now around 2hrs and 1/2 just cruisin over elazig .. Where that is I have no idea ! Near Dubai I suppose !
Slowly sinking in that I'm off again , but any nerves I had I think are being replaced by excitement around now! Once I've dealt with Dubai airport on my own - I will probably be able to take on the world at any given time. Surely?
