Uganda #3: Waiting at Dubai International Airport

I'm here at Dubai International Aiport, halfway through my journey. We arrived this morning & I just had lunch, a complimentary lunch from United Emirates Airlines which inlcuded spicy lamb, bean adn lentils Arabic foods. I love this airlines, great service, roomy seats & a free lunch while you wait in transit..... so much better than Delta.

I have paid $5 for 1 hr of Internet service. The keys on the keyboard have all these Arabic lettters on them, so it's taking me 1 sec longer to figure out thr typing. There are many shops here. It's almost like a mall & pepple are going crazy buying stuff because it is duty-free. The is a shop downstairs selling gold jewelry for like $30 for a 22K bracelet. It's nice. I already have a bookbag & carry bag & don't need any more stuff. I'll buy on my return flight. Other than that, when I see the different people here, mostly Middle Eastern, I remind myself to be aware of the cultures. Like this guy forced his way in front of me during lunch line then acted normal. Normally, in America, I would have called him out, especially since he was getting in the way of me & my food... but decided not to.

Anyway, I have 6 hrs here, which I'll probably spend on the Internet, sleeping in a couch & lounging here in the VIP lounge. Don't ask me how I found this place & got in. I just wanted to get away from the crowds & found this spot. I wish I could take a pic so you could see but I don't want to look tooo touristy & raise any more suspicions than I already have with my reddish dyed hair, American clothing & foreign accent. Well.... plane leaves at 2:45pm with stops in Kenya before I make it to Uganda!!!!!!
