When I was 14 I was flying to the UK from Australia and we had engine problems so the aircraft was grounded for a few days. the airline took us on a very long drive into the dessert to a hotel almost standing almost alone. I remembered the complexity of the wall decorations almost jewel like and intricate. The other things I remember was getting an electric shock every tim I touched any metal I was told it was the combination of almost zero humidity an wearing man made textile shirt. The other thing I remember is that the tv would not start until 4PM and the first thing everyday on TV was the then Shar Playing classical piano
