Hey everyone!
Im just writing now from the Dubai Airport. We had a 12 hours flight from JKF to Dubai and now we are waiting for our flight to Uganda. We flew on Emirates Airlines, which is very nice, I highly recommend it - everyone has a personal TV with 600 channels (I watched arabic pop songs and "Yes Man" in French with English subtitles). The airport is like its own mall (must nicer than NorthPark), with spiral staircases, flashing billboards, and jewelry stores. Its so cool to see such a diversity of people around the airport and walk into Starbucks (yes they have Starbucks even in Dubai) and realized that the menu is in Arabic - not English!
Look forward to pictures in the next few days!
Can't wait to hear what you think of Uganda, Joan.
ReplyDelete:) thinking of you.

on my last comment, I meant to say something about how cool Dubai is. I am so jealous you got to see the airport (sounds silly, but that country is going through some crazy and interesting changes. Anyways, I can't wait to hear from you. Hope you arrive safely in Uganda..

Joan, thanks for including me on the blog! Not only do you maintain a journal, but you also get a conversation going over it! Looking forward to the details!
ReplyDeleteJoan is safely in Uganda, and is busy working with Makerere University this week. She had the pleasure of waking up the first night to stare into the eyes of a cockroach sitting on her pillow. Last night she made sure to really tuck in her messquito net well before going to sleep.
