I left Yemen for Dubai today with mixed emotions. It was sad to leave Sanaa and Marie but happy to be on the way home.
I noticed on the flight that the “Push” sign on the toilet door was also written in Arabic as “Idfaa”. That also means “Pay” (imperative or command form). I like that … I should have should put a box on the door for the silly ones, then collect the loot at the end of the flight.
Push or pay?
Upon landing I went to the departures level to get my boarding pass for tomorrow’s flight to Hong Kong. I then taxied to my accommodation at the Landmark Hotel. With a 1015 departure this morning and 1345 in arrival in Dubai, it wasn’t too late for a late lunch of shawarma and a mixed fruit cocktail juice.
I took dinner of chicken biryani at a place that I liked last time. It was very pleasant to be in Dubai at a cool time of year.
