Reporting from Abu Dhabi

Jas:

One long flight down, one to go. We're knackered but powering on through.

I've already done the touristy thing of taking a photo in a prohibited area, so you'll have to wait for the airport photo later when I'm less likely to be caught!

Too tired to write more. Will blog again from Paris.

Dan:

Hi all.

My future posts will probably be actual posts by me, rather than addenda to a very tired Jas' writer's block incidents.

Well, the flight was long, but pretty cool. I had a minor nerdgasm on seeing the cool display/entertainment setup stuck to the back of each seat. Lots of movies, tv show episodes and *games*! Though that excitement simmered down when I realised the games were of the asteroids/ space invaders/ tetris ilk. That and a chat program... all of the excitement of online chatting, without the messy business of actually being online. I guess if Jas and I had an argument and weren't speaking to each other, it would be a way to communicate. I was tempted to log on to see if there was anyone lonely enough on the flight to log on to that and sit there waiting, but realised I'd be that person if I did so. Close call.

I did watch lots of stuff, and not sleep enough and I have the nasty feeling that's going to catch up with me (and Jas too) in the near future.

Lastly, before I run away to stare at camel souvenirs, the system had an option where you could look at the feed of either the nose camera or a downwards-pointing camera, and see the beautiful Australian landscape, followed by 10 hours of night-time, which got a little bit same-same.

We flew right over Sri Lanka, so I was hoping to see some explosions or something, but no cigar.

Alright, I'll put Jas back on now (and apparently pretend this is like a phone conversation)

ciao!

Jas:

Well, for a moment I thought the writer's block had lifted. Then I realised that the only other story I have is when I forgot to lock the toilet door on the plane and someone tried to barge their way in... but no one wants to hear the gory details. Catch you soon!


Dan:

You did what? Why didn't you tell me on the plane so I could mock you??!!?
