Halfway there!
Hello world. This is Hannah reporting in from Dubai Airport, where there’s wireless – but what is the point of wireless when I can’t find a power outlet and my laptop battery is dying?!
I have a looooonnnggg wait here, I got in at 3.15am and my plane isn’t set to leave until 9.50am. The gates don’t even open til 8-ish so I’m stuck on a seat in the middle of nowhere trying to get comfortable. Too self conscious to sleep, but sooo tired I might just accidentally slip. My laptop should manage another half hour and then I might go down and look for some magazines to read!! Hopefully Dubai has US Cosmo mag’s, because I hate the stuff they print in the UK. Any magazine that at some point has had Jordan on the cover is trash in my books.
The flight was okay. Looongg and I didn’t get a window seat because it was so ridiculously full, so I kept leaning into the aisle and having to wake myself up to rearrange my sleeping position. I managed to stay awake through the whole of Blades of Glory and Freaky Friday (embarassing guilty pleasure), am saving Disturbia for the flight to London
Dubai airport is like a big mall, and everything being duty free makes me want to buy it ALL because it seems like such a bargain!!! But it isn’t really because when would I ever under normal circumstances buy MAC cosmetics?! Little student budget = drugstore makeup.
I’m going to search this place for super super cheap things because it’ll give me something to do til my gate opens. Bargain hunting + Sega emulator fun as long as my laptop lasts.
My nose is hurting me


Gotta love longass trans-continental flights. Be thankful that at least you didn’t have to put up with a little bundle of joy bawling its eyes out for most of the way.
Haven’t read magazines for awhile. The last one I read on a regular basis was Loaded; the perfect balance of great articles, man-wares and pin-ups. Nowadays I just grab a copy of the computer gaming magazine off the net cafe. For some reason they give the latest issues away for free when it costs about AUD12 in newsstands.
Duty free is only value for money for 2 reasons; TOBACCO AND ALCOHOL.
Sega emulators are the bomb; Shadowrun wiped away hours upon hours of my life. I’m an SNES fan myself.
Anyways, hope you have a safe and good trip back to the UK!
