The Jumeirah Jane. Eid Mubarak. Sarah Palin ITW.

With time on my hands, I decided to look for a decent definition of the Jumeirah Jane expression that we expats use on a daily basis here in Dubai. To simplify, a Jumeirah Jane is a middle-aged housewife with at least a working husband, a very young kid, a 14 year old tween having a [...]

How to get more visitors? Leak Womanizer from Britney Spears next album

In an attempt to drive more visitors to the blog we decided to post a leaked single from Britney Spears’s forthcoming album. The track is called Womanizer and has just premiered on “select” radio stations in the US of A. We purposely do not like it because we thought she’d come up with something more [...]

23 cup cakes later

Najmed !

Oh my oh my ! It all started as any layover would start : OK. Flying over was a breeze as always with Japan bound flights. Passengers were great, slept all the way. Landed in Osaka, Japan, nine hours later feeling fine. Hit up the hotel, ordered my sacred Club Sandwich and hit the sack [...]

Making love to the telephone in October

Yes, that’s right. I’ll be sleeping with my telephone right next to me for the whole month of October (minus 11 days) cause it’s my reserve month. Probably the worst month a Cabin Crew doesn’t look forward to. Basically it means you’re on standby to fill gaps for missing/hangover/sick/depressed/partygoers colleagues. You’re at home hanging over [...]

DOWNLOADABLES #61 / Evian knows how to

Having set foot in ParaPara land Japan. Having miserably failed an attempt to demonstrate my パラパラ skills to the crew onboard my Osaka flight. I will tell you more about this crazy thing. But hey ! You are wondering what ParaPara is ? Well take a look at these sad frenchies having a go at [...]

Airboy does Osaka

Airboy Does Osaka | HQ from Airboy Sodwee on Vimeo.
So here we are, in the bus taking us back to the airport. The girls are behind yapping away like it’s not permitted. Gossiping in their own langage : Japanese. I can only take so much so I got the laptop out with some good background [...]

He wasn’t too happy with the previous version so he decided to head back to the studios and re-master his latest hit. Love Lockdown #2 is only slightly better. Download it today ! Otherwise, we’re in [...]

Taxi drivers don’t need no education

With Eric Prydz’s remix of Another Brick In The Wall blasting out of my stereo. I recall my last trip to Paris. I didn’t write anything straight after landing like I usually do because I was in a inspirational black hole. After reading some others blogs, I felt it was the right time to hit [...]

Nerd Surgery

Today was spent upgrading our current Wordpress back-office to the newly released 2.6.4 version of the ultimate blogging platform tool around on the internet at the moment. We’re big fans at Airboy and cannot get away from the fact that if you want to start your own hosted blog, then this is the way to [...]

Welsh One Hit Wonder by MotherOfSodwee

This was her first encounter with what is commonly called a webcam. She had to do something stupid so Mother came up with this idea of doing an impression of a fallen welsh star that thinks she’s still making the top of the charts. With an unpronouncable name in mind she sets off into 4 [...]

ITW / The Pink Poodle has landed!

The Pink Poodle his her nickname. She was the first blogger we got to read in search of the whole Emirates hooha and still makes it to our Top 10 RSS feed chart. That is when she actually posts an entry. But man, when Lauren (her real name), takes it to the keyboard, you’re 100% [...]
