When is plane leaving and what time is it anyway?

Dubai

We're delayed in Dubai. Cold showers and marble floors and chatting
with Bangladeshi girl we hope to meet again in Dhaka.

We are in Dubai

Just a quick hello to all our friends and students. We landed in Dubai
a little while ago and took a taxi to the Burj. That is one tall
building! Everyone is doing well and we all got hood sleep on the
plane.

An experiment for my students:
Our plane flew up and over the North Pole to get to Dubai (UAE) insted
of going across the middle of the globe. Why?Try this: take a length
of string and find a globe of the Earth. Hold one end of the string on
Los Angeles and stretch it straight across to Dubai (United Arab
Emirates). Mark the length. Now try the same thing going over the top
of the globe. What did you discover? Post your answer in the
comments ;).

Find your place on the planet. Dig in, and take responsibility from
there. -Gary Syder
