Now in the Quiet Room at Hamad International Airport in Doha. We've got a five hour stop-over here before our flight to Singapore, and if you have to have a five hour break at an airport, Doha is the place to be. Trust me!
Listened to Radiohead, Neil Young and Bowie on the flight from Jeddah, thus breaking my musical fast: The Bends, After the Goldrush and Ziggy Stardust respectively - bits of, that is. Goldrush was incredibly evocative - sweet and melancholy. And I remembered just how good Radiohead are: the first half of The Bends (all I listened to actually) is pretty near flawless. Unfortunately we landed in the middle of Bowie's You'd Better Hang On To Yourself, which shows that life is never quite perfect, even when it comes close.
Afterword: Back in Hall safely in two pieces - one piece each - by the early afternoon. Tired but deeply content. Prata and teh tarik to end the day.
