Dubye

Successfully managed to get to Dubai, which is no surprise considering my excellent sense of direction and signs in more than one language. Thank god for the English language. Not sure if my board made it too, or whether some Gatwickien has nicked it, but I suspect I'll find out soon enough.

Ate a big mac. I figured since I had sushi in London I should follow it up with a burger in Dubai. Now to complete the trend of eating the wrong things in the wrong places I just need to have a curry in Seoul :)

What surprises me the most (apart from the huge McDonalds) about Dubai is that the palm trees in the airport are fake. That's a pretty poor job, the can even grow them in the Isle of Man! The other thing the surprises me is the clothes, or rather, the combinations. Beautiful dresses and stuff like that, but they're all wearing Adidas trainers. These people need some serious fashion advice. But I'm probably the wrong guy to do that.

No pictures because I don't have a camera. But imagine a huge building with lots of people. And chrome, lots of chrome and glass. Could be improved by putting the ceiling on the floor and making a huge half pipe, but meh, skateboarding is probably against the rules over here.

Very excited about the open free wireless. I had to uh, do naughty things in Gatwick to get net. It was all BT openzone and such, buggers. But incidentally, if you're ever there just stroll down to the big fountain and look for:

BSSID: 00:15:70:37:0F:1D
ESSID: 076
WEP: 43EEE0F541793259DFA9AE2547

But don't tell anyone I told you.
