Paris-Italy: 12 Dec (12 Dec 2011- 2 Jan 2012)

Outbound on Emirates, Sin-Dubai-Paris and a total of 14 hours flight. Sitting at Gate 202 in Dubai at 6.20am waiting for time to pass till the next flight at 8am. Its says on the directions map, that it takes 25min to walk to the end from where I am now, which is half the length of this terminal. =X And only a few words come to mind as I look upon Dubai from the flight: sand, brown, equidistant orange lights. It is pretty in its way but I am just amazed how it is really mostly sand. My first stop in a semi-desert land and my first flight with Emirates. Just one week back, my flight on SQ was one full of pencil-drawn chinese. Today, it is mostly crayon-drawn people. Pencil-drawn and crayon-drawn, if you know what I mean.

My cup of Starbucks Toffee Nut Latte costs me USD$9. Argh!
