<< me and me and me and mecha-godzilla | Main | A slice of Dubai >> August 21, 2007 >> Adventurers Ho! I'm on my way to Dubai in the morning, a journey that can only be heightened by a) my near-total lack of research on the city-state and b) a dearth of funds so grave that any troublesome mishaps will result in my imprisonment where I'll be too poor to pay corrupt officials to get out. Still, this is where knowing that somebody is on the other end, at your destination, turns a decidedly stressful overnight flight into a minorly stressful one. I suppose it has a lot to do with putting your fate into that somebody's hands: assuming that once you stagger off the plane, bleary eyed and xenophobic, they'll be there to pick up the pieces and steer you away from acts of unmitigated stupidity and madness. Or help you carry them out, at the very least. Posted by Chris at 11:34 PM >> Commentations (1)
