We went back up and I slipped through the last security waving good bye to my parents. The time before boarding the first plane from Munich to Dubai felt long, just wanted to get in my seat and take off to get a good nights sleep and begin the journey which was on the ticket very long.
Before i could get in my sear there was a wait for 3 passengers who didn't show up even after 20 minutes of calling their names + business and first class had favor over monkey class which i were to fly.
I got onto the plane and got my seat at a window in the back end of the plane which was okay, the first 15 minutes i struggled to get a support leaver in the back to fit my body size, Isucceeded and shortly after my "wingman" were beside me.
We started rolling and all of a sudden a lady offered me a white piece of linen and i was wondering what it was, but taken in consideration that I was in monkey class I accepted (it could be the only thing I'll have on the flight). It turned out to be a warm cleaning towel which i didn't know what to do with because we haven't seen the shadow of food yet.
We got in the air and I watched X-men Origins: Wolverine while eating and afterwards I just putted some music in my ears and fell asleep.
Win a Lamborghini Gallardo - Life is a lotto coupon :)
We landed in Dubai at 06:00 local time with the weather update saying it was 35 degrees celcious outside.
Inside the airport you got the feeling that the living in Dubai is a lottery. There was this "Duty free shop" which had a shop in the airport but also lots of stands where you could buy 200 coupons for 500 Dhs (Lokal money), I will post some pictures of what you could win and they include 1,000,000$ USD and also Lamborghini, Bentley and other luxury vehicles.
The airport itself is also amazing, the way it it looks both on the inside and the outside is just something you'll only find in Dubai.
I do not know if its me who have only been in europe but I found that hot water in the toilets were a bit too much. I mean, it isn't like its a party going to the toilet, and the feel of warm air coming upwards is just wrong. But with that said I think there is a Arabian Aero specialist in the restrooms in Dubai International Airport testing a new space-thruster or something like that.
I went about in Dubai until it was time to see the highlight of the Journey, the Airbus A380-800 and what a plane, even the seats in Economy were excellent, and that makes you wonder about how its like on First and Business class because the got to sit in silk to top it. I had a very good flight having the three seats next to me free and even though a Australian girl took the seat furthest away from me we still had the middle to place our legs and have a nice sleep.
The only two bad things I can say about the trip was shortly before landing in sidney alle the Australians began to use their parfumes in order to smell good when they land, and that isn't a dream coming true for us who have to fly on to New Zealand in the same plane. But we were lucky we also had to get off the plane and then it got cleaned in a hour before we went back on it.
Other than that, there were the announcements which always started in arab before going to english and I'm still convinced that the arabs got one or two more informations than us who didn't understand them.
After I have been traveling since Monday 22:35 GTM +1 and to Wednesday 12:00 GTM +12 I've met lots of people in the plane which you just do not meet on the bus or train, they are in some way more open minded and easier to talk to, maybe its because their ticket costs 1,000 euros and not 5, and maybe because they knew they were going to sit beside me for the next 20 hours straight.
The best bit of flying were the sunsets and sun rises from almost 11 km hight that is something different, you can see the curvature of the earth and the dark night turning into day or the other way around.
Ps. I've found a place to upload pictures I just need a computer where I can install google software. So be patient, got lots of pictures :)
