Holy long trip!

I'm here! And I didn't get lost once along the way! Which is amazing since O'Hare is big enough to be it's own country. New favorite airline: Swiss. Free headsets, movies, wine, and the best food I've ever had on an airplane. Oh, and they give you chocolates, and the flight attendants all speak English, German, French, and I definitely heard one talking in Spanish as well. The flight path from Zurich to Dubai clearly skirted around Iraq, and Dubai reminded me (from above) of Vegas, although I suppose there are fewer hookers.

And then I get here, no problems with visas or customs, after which all my anxiety melted away into excitement. Plus the clinic gave me a mobile phone to use here, and a studio apartment to stay in, with a terrace and a pool. It's definitely showing a little age, but seriously who cares.And yes, that is a bidet. Well, time to shower and try to sleep.
