This samosa is like the literal best samosa. It's huge and there was a bucket of sweet sauce that went in it and it tasted of mint and spice and came with a freaking real coffee.

Abu Dhabi loves its customers by having like reclining chairs for like a quarter of its chairs.

I freaking hate however airport gates that you have to go through a damn checkpoint and then be locked in. This one at least didn't lock me in.

I miss the days when the airline stewards used to come by at times other than meal services. I still fondly remember my first ever British airlines trip where they plied us with wine the whole flight.

I scored again on my 14 hour leg of my flight by getting me and a sweet girl with an empty middle seat between us. Not only did this big international liner have excellent leg room to start with, my knees did not even a little touch the back of the seat, but I got to cross my legs all into this extra space and the other chick curled up on the middle seat some. It was sweet.

Abu Dhabi to Paris is only like seven hours but it's the second flight so you're half as patient for sure.

My special places, Brisbane edition:

The square across Adelaide street from Anzac square and the view of the city there from like every angle, and relatedly the walk from central station out across the skyway, over Anzac square through that square to my doctor and the post office and then through the stealth alley to where the only branch oft bank used to be and the circle tree and then the river if you want it is right there.

The secret armchairs on the second floor of wintergarden.

The museum of Brisbane, though that may be more so a few years ago.

Kurilpa bridge, and it up to the upside down elephant.

The park across the street from me in eagle junction.

The batty boat cruise.

Special restaurants:

Well I made sure to eat at Guzman and Gomez, Hanachai, and Netherworld before I left plus I had like eight games of pinball at Netherworld.

Three monkeys

I'm really into miso happy ramen right now.

Thai wi rat still sticks around

Palak paneer from sitar. It's not good but it totally is Indian takeaway for me.
