I’m sat in Dubai airport, halfway through my trip home, waiting for my flight back to England.
It’s 5:45 local time, this is a funny airport.
The call to prayer doesn’t wake up the hundreds of Africans sleeping against the glass along the moving walkway but it does manage to freak out the British tourists shopping for Hookah pipes and Arsenal shirts. They sell chicken kebabs in McDonalds, there are more Mosques than bars, and all of the prices are in a currency that I’m pretty sure they’ve made up.
Should be home at around lunchtime on Wednesday. As I was leaving the office yesterday I noticed the guys at work were having a bit of a party to wish me farewell. It was a nice touch, although I kind of wish they’d invited me too.
They probably just forgot.
Turnout at the “Bon Voyage James!” party is expected to be high despite the poor weather.
There’s an easy explanation for that James. I got my invitation weeks ago but I said I’d only come if you weren’t there. Enjoy Blighty.
Bye-bye I spy, enjoyed your blog a lot!
:O you are leacing shanghai forever?
Sadly no, James is back in a couple of weeks. In the mean time may I encourage all of you to visit my blog which is far more entertaining, well, according to my mum anyway.
Does your blog have Shoe Tuesday?
shop girl: he will come back here just like woai said>
hey james: 一路顺风!
T - Shoe Tuesday is an ISpyShanghai trademark, but since this is China, sure why not!!
Jonathan - My understanding is, it’s inappropriate to say that if someone is travelling by air.
Glad to see you home, dont forget to give me a call…make it before 24th July as that is when i am heading back to Shanghai.
i think woai need topless thursday on his blog
or bottomless wednesdays
Naked ass Sundays.
To Woai: Oops, I got it! Cheers mate!
Gosh you guys are all just completely sex mad - which is just how I like my women!
Jonathan - It’s not widely known, even some Chinese people don’t know that.
I think the lesson here is one should not buy Arsenal shirts. Ever.
Woai said “sex”!!!!!!!!!!
Kristi said “arse” !!!!!!!!!
But Kristi, I’m a big fan of The Arsenal!
T said “naked”!!111!!!!one!!!!1uno
woai doesn’t “say” sex, he LIVES it. =D
Angie - WoAi OOZES sex I think is the word you were looking for.
WoAi oozes something. that’s for sure. But I think he should get that taken a look at.
T - You may be right, but I keep hoping it’ll go away by itself!
To Woai:
I am a big fan of The Arsenal too!
I’m Arsenal till i die, i,m arsenal till i die, i sure i am
arsenal till i die!
Your index page seems to be broken …
Jonathan - Go Gooners!!! If Ronaldo leaves United (he basically won the season for them) and Chelsea are finding their way with a new manager, I reckon it’s time for us to step up and show the big two who’s boss this season!
Come on James everyone is waiting with great anticipation what the “shanghai footwear
fashionista” has in store for UK Tuesday.You may follow this up with a “timelapse picture “of the European Cup which usually “stand still” at either at Old Trafford or Anfield, the Arsenal and Chelsea supporters can then see what it looks like.
