The 203rd Episode : Air of vulgar prosperity
Dubai UAE
[October, 2009 Dubai, U.A.E.]
October, 2009, I got at Dubai International Airport, UAE (United Arab Emirates). First visit to the middle east in my life. I usually transfer here on the way to/from Ghana but the first time to enter the country. Dubai was originally a small fishing town, but with the oil, it quickly became one of the world's major cities. It's now transformed into a city where the rich and powerful are living.
Mmm~ something was strange. At the first landing, the size of this airport surprised me very much. It was too large, no, huge it was! I had to walk to the transfer gate, that was too far. It made me walk sooo long, I remember. The ceiling of the terminal building was so high and palm trees were lined on the both sides of the passageway as if they were a row of trees.
I have no choice of the words specifically how to express, it was sparkling or not!?!? It looked like a grown-up's taste!?!?
A poor man's prejudice?
