howie’s halfpipe

Here we are in singapore on our express trip home. less than 1 hour in bahrain and less than 1 hour in singapore.

As we went through security at athens airport there was a man in front of me that got pulled up at the bag x-ray machine. THey opened his case and out of it came about 200 lighters, all with a marijuana leaf picture on them. I think he may have got in trouble.

our flight from athens to bahrain was not on a gulf air plane it was a ‘jet airways’ plane some indian company, it was a posh plane it had an on demand touch screen entertainment system in every seat. It was col youcould choose from a list of stuff to watch and stop and startr it whenever you wanted. so that was fun.

then on the last flight therewas a group of men a few rows in front who where flirting with the hosteses and other passengers. anyway one of them kept going into the toilet and then he would reapear and the cabin would be left with the smell of ciggarette smoke. None of the crew seemedto catch on so much for smoke alarms on gulf air planes.
The only thing that happened was a crew man walked past once sniffing and said “i smell smoke” and that was the end of that. maybe smoke on gulf air planes is common.

8 hours to go and i’ll be back in sydney, plane travel is fun but long flights when you cant sleep suck.
