20-08-09 (21-08-09?) OR what is an Emirate?
Often, without expecting to be there, you will find yourself in a new place. A new space, in a new time. You may be walking the streets, thinking sweet nothings or sour somethings and suddenly you are in a taxi, or a train, or a tree. You may climb a fence, jump, and land in someone else's garden, or on someone else. I did not expect to be in the Dubai International Airport, but then I was.
Guessing, I would say that Brunei Darussalam is a third of the way from Brisbane to London. Guessing further, I would say that Dubai is a half of the way from Brunei Darussalam to London. Guessing even further, I would say that London is a whole of the way from London to London.
Never in my life have seven hours seemed to pass so slowly. I fell asleep after the first round of meals. It felt as though I dreamed for hours, but in fact it was only about five minutes. Plot: I am visited by every girl who ever has swooned for me, and I lock them in a room. I mean to write them a poem but I can't find a pen. When I open the door they are all gone. There is writing on the walls: sugar is sweet...
Far below, orange lights. Saundi Arabia, Cyprus, Turkey, Romania (Bucharest), Bulgaria (Budapest), Austria (Vienna), Germany (Munich), Belgium (Antwerp), Netherlands (Amsterdam). Europe! At last! I had been reverse-fighting the moonlight for nearly 12 hours. As the day slowly caught up with me, the horizon became a spectacular red arc. It widened as I crossed the English Channel. Inspiration, come to me!
There's no place like London. In fact, there is. London.
21-08-09 OR platform nine and three quarters
How do I describe it? It's like... have you ever seen Love, Actually? Well, it's like that, except there was no one waiting to actually love me (not even that little drummer boy). London was nice, like a grandmother's cottage. I walked everywhere; I saw the bridges and the buildings. I even sor Fernando Saw. Also, I passed GO and collected $200!
