-Im the only white person on the plane
-It is the biggest plane I have ever seen
-It smells like curry and there is sitar music playing overhead when I board
-The Exit signs are in English and Arabic
-The flight attendants wear funny hats
-They gave us candy before we took off, served 2 gourmet meals, and drinks just about every 5 minutes. Champagne was poured before we even hit the runway.
-Flew over Baghdad, which made me realize how far away from home I really am
View of Qatar from the airplane window: everything is BROWN
And it is a million degrees in Qatar (even at midnight, as it was when we arrived). When I stepped off the plane, I thought I was feeling exhaust from the engine, but it was actually the air!
