I’m In Dubai
…and obviously therefore still alive.
I’m probably going to break down the posts into shorter blocks, as otherwise you will not see any for months! My usual pattern was to take leave, and wait for a few months after I got back to post anything. That would appear to be impractical now. 
So, here I am quite coincidentally in Commie Central of Dubai. Spot The Commie is almost no fun at this point. I had an amusing time at the Uzbek Consulate today working on a visa. You’ll see it later, and rest assured it has earned a Title With All Caps. Err..starting with all caps. Sorry for the confusion to the pedantic among you. And me.
Prolly here for a week, though hopefully less. Ikromonjon is on the case!
PS – Sounds like they have a lot of incoming here, except they don’t. My perceptions have been altered. I’ll be okay in a few days prolly. I haven’t embarassed myself anymore than you would already expect me to have though.

Oh, it’s safe. The driving is the dangerous part here.
I’m staying at a friend’s apartment here. I have to get a job here. It’s very spacious and well equipped. Nice view from up on the 25th floor. I like to look out windows. It’s starting to hit me how removed from real life I am. Even now it’s true, because I am on an extended vacation with no real responsibilities…

So, are you going to slum around the far East awhile then?
After all this time, this is the first time Ive been to your board. I guess its narrow minded of me. Anyways, glad to hear your ok. Have a safe journey, and take lots of pics… And be safe.

You have to get a job there, or you want to? I must admit, from 25 floors up, that would be pretty cool.
Isnt there a big azz hotel there, designed like a sail from a sail boat?
What the heck. If you have the money, go play Indiana Jones for awhile. Or come back to the States, and learn how to drive a truck… 😀 😀
