Middle East bread pudding

 Comfort ofothe business lounge at abu dhabi airport iican report that in addition to delicious sweets and finger bites there is a type of bread and butter pudding of such delicacy that I've already had three portions so I can survive in Hong koKo without eating tomorrow. The lounge is really top notch so much better than the efforts at manchester but of course you can't get a bacon butter here. They haven't got anywhere in the transfer lounge security screening to put shoes back on, a fault Manchester did address but they are oodles more polite here and the service is almost overwhelming one thing the Arabs are good at is hospitality. So the world is still recovering from the new Zealand mosque killings very shameful and I read tonight that the yellow shirts in Paris are right wing anti Semites and attacked a Jewish writer. Violence is never a very good route but reading a book on Indian independence non violence under ghandi



​ almost started a load more trouble and the idea that everyone becomes saints overnight and permits themselves to be killed on the prospect of a better afterlife seems about on par with Isis. I think the most shameful places in our own British society are the right wing extremists who hide beneath a mantle of officialdom  such as police or quangos. I'm expecting a busy but peaceful few days in Hong Kong before I move on to taiwan and a notch on my new country list!
