Dubai part 2

Lets start by asking you to forgive me as this post is a bit incoherent, i have been in the terminal almost 8 hours and my mind is starting to go from the boredom. To give it scope of boring, back in KAF were there is officially nothing to do in your spare time I may post a entry every few weeks, its been less then three hours and i'm posting again....

I think there is a school of design when it comes to air port terminals. I think they are all about movement. The seats are uncountable so you can't really sit for too long before you have to stand up and move just to get blood flow back. When you do sit it give you a chance to people watch as they take there turn on the journey to no ware specific. I have a conspiracy theory that they want to tire people out for the flights so they will sleep instead of bugging the flight crew.

Right now i am camped out next to recharge centre to get some juice back into the little net-book. Its a bit of a people way station for the technically dependent. As we are not far from the McDonald’s you see the odd person stop and have to decide what is more important to feed them selves or there electronics.

This decision has to be made often by the electronic junky. It could be why the truly nerdy only seem to come in two sizes, boney or spherical. All dependent on which side is more often found to be heaver in ones mental scale of importance.

The poor guy next to me is trying his best not to be notice as he hogs most of the plugs in the recharge booth, as he charges a laptop, cell phone, mp3 player, and camera. I'm waiting for any moment for him to pull out a GPS or a portable DVD player.

Dubia is the Vegas of the middle east and the air port very much reflects that. The people going by are a equal mix from the four corners of the world. In any given moment i may see a tall blond in high heel boots and a skin tight tank top walking next to a women in a fully clad black berkas.

Some of the people travailing with me have gone to the emirates lounge. You pay $60 US for 4 hours and you get access to leather couches you can actually sleep on, shower facilities and as much cheep booze as you can hold. I have avoided this temptation in the hope i may get some sleep on the 8 hour flight to London.
