narcissistic pleasure

Since I'm so bored and have nothing better to do (I finised iswak2 alr!!), I shall post pics from the eurotrip! Pls don't be bored, thank you.

T3 at 1am saw us plonking our asses right down on the floor to repack stuff. Our poor, tortured backpacks served us well for the entire 5 weeks. *sayangs my bag*

And.... there's nothing to do inside T3 in the wee hours of the morning. So we watch cartoon network, and ~~imitate others~~ sleep~~ing~~.

while waiting for kahyong the dua pai to clear security and proceed to his business class area. see the difference between working people and poor students

And we touch down... in doha! We came out since we had 7hrs of transit.

how many of you can say you've been to the middle east? huh huh? *smug face* HAHA

oil there is so cheap, the cabbies step on the accelerator with a vengeance

everything there really looks like they do on cna. sandcastles, all!

at souk waqif, one of the traditional markets there

somehow the guy leading the donkey looks like one of those characters from aladdin... one of the evil bandits OOPS

one of the many letter-writing/translation/passport-application booths. so old school right!

but they've got atms,

and they love their brad pitts too!

jinx was paiseh cos i had her pose at the bus stop, then the bus came rumbling along and all the commuters were staring out at us, probably thinking 'stupid chinese never see bus before issit'

and i could not leave without taking a pic with someone in full-traditional-middle-eastern wear! what a mouthful. and yes, we really did stop someone on the streets just to take photo hahaha

I think after being there, I dispelled quite a few myths that I had about the middle east. Or at least Doha. The people there were really friendly, and quite a few of them speak english. And they're quite modern, not like what I used to think of them. Then again, it may simply be that I'm ignorant in the first place. *shrugs*

Anyway I can't believe I uploaded so many photos just on ONE day alone. I think... I don't want to post anymore la, so mafan HAHA. Till next time when I have the urge to upload more pics, taaaa!

Here's a last photo:

We were on a roll trying to get the people we were taking to pose with a twist sign. My zhao pai act-cute dong zuo ok! HAHA that's the traffic police who so readily did it for the camera, so adorable!
