+Diario - 10 July
+================
+
+check-in: all green, made boarding pass for both flights, FCO-DXB & DXB-SYD
+(via Singapore)
+
+Boarding delayed from 1705 to nearly 1740 due to carrier not showing up in
+time. Take off delayed accordingly.
+
+On board, hand baggage reveals itself to be rather large: kind stewardess finds
+a place, but two lines away from me. My place is 31B, aisle, behind the wings.
+Carrier is an AirBus A330 (200 seats). 31A (window, on my left-hand side) is an
+Indian woman summing up expenses, converting Liras to Rupiahs (so I know she's
+Indian). Little talk. Economy class is rather impressive: no large seats, not
+so much space for your legs, but... a private color LCD screen for TV & movies
+& real-time cameras! You pick the channel (video or audio only) via a
+hand-control or the touch-screen. RTCameras are: front view and downward view.
+Pretty useless in mid-flight, but quite spectacular on takeoff and landing. Why
+not a rear-camera? Air sickness? Air turbulence due to the jets? (BTW, 2
+high-pressure jets under the wings)
+
+ETA: 5h20, so two movies. From first round: Erin Brockovich, Mission to Mars,
+The Tigger Movie. Second round: Sleeper (and I was sleeping... maybe I'll watch
+it from Singapore to Sydney, there should be the same movies). Non-movie
+highlight: Dilbert, the cartoon. Actually, bi-dimensional is better: animation
+doesn't do good to Adam's characters. Language selection is not so good: you
+can choose between three languages, which can be: English/French/Italian,
+English/Arabic/Whoknowswhat, English/English/English . And the only way to know
+is trying! (OK, first language is usually English, so that's a sure point...)
+
+Of course many (perhaps too many) people didn't get how to work the screen. And
+didn't figure out there were clearly-written instructions on the booklets,
+either. Helped out a couple of them, the others will learn by themselves.
+
+Dinner: chicken or lamb? Lamb, please. Chicken was caprese. If I wanted
+Italian-style food, I'd stayed in Italy (already heard this one, huh?). Lamb is
+Arabian-style: rice, baby-corn, spices and stuff. Pretty good (and mind we're
+talking airline kitchen here!). Tuna fish, spiced and smoked (?); pretty good
+also. Salad. Cheese. Sweet cake. Wow!
+
+OK, trying to sleep. Not so much of a success, but I get some (needed) rest.
+Oh, nice toilets; wasn't it for someone who forgets to close the door when he
+gets inside... go figure.
