Even though it was a shock at the “Kasse ” cash counter on the monumental total sum; Got some gifts for people who struck my mind. Understandable I guess, making a balance between money and people! It’s more like getting a cozy place in their memory. There are contradictory announcements at the airport saying no announcements about the departures and boom the flight number EK 00 58 is departing at 20:45 at gate C45!!! At 20:38 a call from United Arab Emirates (UAE) How cool is it for you when your friends say they love you? Javier who is a Colombian but studies in Germany goes to Dubai a day before.
