flight connections are weird because in some sense I am IN New York City, but also I am not really in New York City I am actually in a big big people-moving bureaucracy systems machine that is moving me around according to its rules and its ways

i had a layover in saudi arabia once and i felt that confusion but really strongly. all the women were in head-to-toe black and they had a separate woman-only line with female staff for security and i was like, am i in saudi arabia or not damnit
I made a conscious choice not to stop in Saudi Arabia when coming back from Abu Dhabi. I went to Cairo instead and it was fascinating.
