So, the 15:00 flight to Istanbul was delayed to 17:15 (gate C2). And the 17:20 flight to Istanbul (my flight) is currently delayed to 18:00 (gate C1).

I have this feeling that they were missing a plane for some reason (say, technical problems), and they’re making each flight’s passengers wait for the next coming flight. (this is a traditional Israeli custom, whose name roughly translates to “each day eating yesterday’s bread”).

Oh, and I can’t take booze from Israel to China through Turkey, because the crazy Turks decided, for some odd reason, to not allow liquids through their airport. Maybe they want us to only buy booze/perfume/etc. at their airport if we’re connecting over there? Sounds outragous, and strangely fitting of the Turks. (Third-world mentality).

On the other hand, I managed to get a fire-exit seat for the 9-hour flight from Istanbul to Beijing, so really I can’t complain. (Or can I?)

Terminal, je t’aime., I love you Terminal, Natbag two-thousand….
