SandwichesShouldNeverTasteLikeCowCrap.jpegSandwiches Should NEVER Taste Like Cow Crap by Dave Lowe (published by Manta Press in 2008) is a tasty stew of stories from life on the Lowe Road.

Starting with strip searches at foreign customs, run-ins with tatami dragon ladies, rides aboard horny camels, shots fired by AK-47's, wheels breaking off taxis and more than a flightmare or two - Dave's travelogue poses a question: Are his size 13 shoes spreading mayhem and chaos with each step?

Only the Travel Gods know for sure.....

Dave Lowe's blog, The Lowe Road covers what's happening in travel, from zero to seven to star, hovels to hotels, donkeycarts to airlines and anything else useful that may come in handy for that future luxury resort vacation in North Korea.

DXB's Al Maktoum International Airport Opens 

DateTuesday, June 29, 2010 at 10:50PM

Dubai may be served by one of the worlds largest and most modern airports, but the emirate has recently opened a new airport - open only to cargo now through March 2011 - that is 40 kilometers away from the city's current air facility smack in the middle of the desert. 

As a part of Dubai World Central, a massive residential, shopping and business complex, the airport features A380 enabled runways that are 4.5 kilomteres long (2.5 miles) and 800 meters apart.

The cost? 82 billion USD. Cost to the environment? Priceless - untold tons of carbon will be emitted into the atmosphere just to keep this project, among the worlds largest - air conditioned and watered and cleaned.

The airport is expected to handle more passengers than the current two world's busiest: Chicago and Atlanta - combined, a staggering 160 million people. Thats almost 10 Australias. 10 New York Citys. 160 Alaskas. Yikes.
