... of time to get a permit or permission to visit. My driver had come one time without the required permission and the manager had been in a generous mood that day so let him and his client into the museum but after getting into two places this morning, our luck was out so it's back to town.<br> I had my driver take me to the City Center Mall otherwise also known as the Carrefour Mall. It's the largest ...

... world is getting smaller all the time. Even North Korea, possibly still the most isolated country in the world, has tourists. I've been three times. So I travel and travel and travel to meet locals and learn cultures and see and discover history. More and more there are "regions" of the world that are becoming so very alike that they may lose their identity as a separte people. I hope to arrive before that happens.

Canadians can drive here for something like six months if they have an International Driving Permit which I picked up from CAA the morning I left Winnipeg. At the same time, no sense delaying the inevitable so I went and got my Qatari driver's license today. I prepped by getting an eye exam at a Lenscrafter type store in the mall the other day.

... hours but apparently for doctors you never make appointments - you just show up and hope they are open. After many forms we marched up about 3 flights of stairs and they pricked each of our fingers to do the test. Clayton was last so we laughed that they would bring out the big needle for him.

But I was more interested by the dynamics of families shopping together: the man dressed like a Bedouin Sheik, the woman showing only her eyes ...

... again. To make matters worse, his computer kept going offline. He just sat there tapping until it connected again. I was astounded that he couldn't just pick up the phone and call someone. He just sat there. He sent me to the gate for the 9pm flight that had one seat left. But I missed the cutoff time for the flight. They sent me back to Mr. Wizard at the transfer desk. The gate agent assured me ...

... hours. What have I done? Simple, I found the internet access and have been typing away blogging my travels for at least 3 hours then I napped for 2. This airport is clean but I'm alone and there isn't much to do so now I am just looking forward to arriving to Rome, eating good food, seeing family, and get the next chapter of my ...

... I pointed out to her. Sometimes it pays to be prepared. So she ended up paying me my change in dollars. (I'm not as dumb as I look!) So at about 4 p.m. Sunday afternoon I boarded my third and final flight of the journey, pleased that I was going to be able to make it to my destination a third of the way around the world - more or less just as planned. The flight to Zanzibar took only twenty minutes (which actually made it very expensive on a cost per distance basis ...
