Faraz in Pakistan pt 3 - Dubai airport

Local cuisine?? Man I could go for a McArabia Halal Double Beefburger!


Actually I'm gonna get some shawarma while I'm here.

Faraz in Pakistan pt 2 - the flight

My flight was delayed only a few hours from Columbus to Ny. Thank god
I had plenty of time and didn't miss my connection! Last week when my
dad left he got stranded for 2 days...

Here is a picture from the inside of the Airbus A-380, the largest
commercial plane in the world. It seats over 800 passengers! We all
had touch screens and tons of new movies, music, tv shows, and games
to choose from. I charged my iPod, watched 'How I met your mother",
Stepbrothers, The Office, and The Mummy 3! And keep in mind this is
economy class...
