just a news for whom thinks that i live in the desert surrounded by beduins. ehi! that is true! ok, rewind... just a news to show you how megalomaniac they are in this place. and to eat our hearts out thinking that we'll be forever condemned to fly with alitalia (if it will still exist tomorrow... you never know...).
this post is dedicated to my great-aunt who, when i explained to her that i was going to work to dubai, told me: "please, don't go there! don't go among the niggers... you know that africa is full of diseases." i tried to explain that i was not going to africa, that also when i've been to africa i've had no problems with anyone and i've got no diseases, that you don't call people niggers and that by the way in the emirates they are arabs not africans... but nothing. it was like a broken record... you know, when it jams and repeats always the same stuff: "don'tgotoafrica!don'tgotoafdon'tgodon'tdondon" (ok, you got the idea!)
so, what happened is that, when my mother came to visit me end of april, she took many pictures of abu dhabi and dubai and she sent me an e-mail saying that she showed the photos she took to my great-aunt, who said: "wow! so, in africa they are not poor. they have money! look at the buildings, they are ahead of us!" (imagine this said with the trembling voice of an 85 years old lady and of course a very heavy italian accent... i swear i was laughing my ass off thinking about my mom who had to take an atlas and show her what the arabian peninsula is!).
so: zia giovannina, this is for you sis! peace!
Emirates Airline launches its new A380 superjumbos: the first commercial flight will be dubai - new york on friday. the emirates A380s will have 14 first class seats, 76 business class seat, 399 economy class seats and will be served by 24 cabin crew. till now, nothing really special...
so listen to this: the A380 is a double-decker aircraft and the top deck is reserved for first class passengers only, with 14 flat-bed, massage-equipped private suites. remote-controlled doors, a work desk and an electrically controlled mini-bar are among the amenities that wealthy flyers can use during the flight. BUT the first class feature the airline is most eager to show off is its onboard shower spa (so after having sex in the plane passengers can easily get rid of all the evidences of their acts - especially useful for the muslim ablutions...): these are "two fully equipped bathrooms" in its first class cabins complete with shower facilities. for the first class passengers, there is also a social area and a bar at the front of the upper deck!
in business class passengers will have to settle for an onboard lounge in their cabin "designed to make passengers feel like they are in their own executive club" with "a cleverly designed table that never gets in your way, a seat that slickly becomes a fully-flat bed and laptop stowage for when you want to switch from work to fun".
and those "miserables" in economy class? oh, they will have more leg room. plus an "advanced mood lighting system". and wider aisles. more generous seats. ah, and "gourmet chef-prepared meals"!
oh yes, if i remember well, he was the one who said he would not buy alitalia because he only buys successful companies...
by the way, in a few days i have to book my ticket to go back to italy for my vacation... there are 57 new superjumbos on the way: bet not even one will fly to milan or rome. shit!
