Stuck in Doha airport!

Posted by HoTsTePPa | | , , , , | 7 Opinions »

I’m on my way to Beijing, China, to spend some time with my babes! I’ve been meaning to go for a long time, but circumstances and Murphy made sure that I haven’t made it as yet!

So early evening yesterday, 30 September, I was dropped off at Cape Town International Airport and a few hours later I’m boarding a flight to Doha. It was a pleasant flight, bar the stale toasted roll that I was served as a snack. Chicken, cheese and peppers…yum! The other meals were really good!

After a pretty long flight and me doing a small acrobatic stunt to fit my +PLUS sized ass across 3 seats dodging armrests and managing to stay strapped in with my seatbelt (This feat would make McGyver jealous!), I arrived in Doha about 2 hours ago, just before 7am local time.

Doha International is a kinda funny to pin down in words. It’s a mix between the glam life of Dubai but on a very rundown, unmaintained level. The floors are dirty, the bathrooms are horrible and the airport food court reminds me of a dodgy Gatsby take-away in Cape Town called Golden Dish, but the lights are bright and they have a Range Rover parked in the Duty Free area!


On arrival, I’m told that my visa wasn’t arranged by my travel agent, so I’m stuck here for 18 hours. Great!

The guys at Flight Centre better pull through for me, cos I’m borderline pissed now!

    @anonymous - Wow! I never really thought that my article was so negative towards arabs. I apologise for insulting you, but it was not my intention.

    I would have hoped for a more mature approach from you if you were offended, but I guess that this is the kind of mindset that have you predetermined before you commented.

    I look forward to having you back on my blog, but next time perhaps with a more tact, mature response to my articles and also not hiding behind an anonymous id.

    Thank you for reading my articles and please feel free to come back!
