I’ve arrived here safely. Just had some blueberry pancakes with maple syrup and am watching an old episode of The Drew Carey Show where Drew is really thin.
Changed room once because the first room I was in had broken Internet, and I’ve been on to them again because since the last time I was here they’ve a new Internet-system-thingy, including a firewall that’s blocking port 22 and that simply wont do.
The flights were much less gurelling this time and BA compared very favourably to Emirates. The food was as good or better and the portions were bigger! Oh and there was at least one F-word in the movies, that’s practically unheard of on in-flight movies, right? I watched Dear Wendy and Madagascar, both were enjoyable. (Dustin Hoffman was the F-er, in Outbreak.)
It’s kind of nice to return to a hotel where you recognise all the staff.
Note to future-self: bring a video-out cable when travelling next. If I had one with me I’d be able to watch the TV on my iBook and DVDs etc. on the not-too-shabby TV in my room.
Dhaka seems a little cooler but still very humid.
Sleep maybe?
Drew was thin? That guy looks like he was always big :p
What sort of speed is the Hotel internet?
Hope things are ok there for you :)
Bring me back a rug, a big rug, will ya?
The Internet here is slow and breaky, about 100Kb/s but high latency to hosts I visit because my packets to Europe take the long way around going through Hong Kong or Japan and then the US.
