Travel has been much harder due to the covid. The hardly owned covid negative report was not even checked thoroughly. The transit is via Dubai. My departure to Kathmandu is from terminal 2, which is not a great terminal. This terminal is for budget airlines. It is small with limited shopping choices and crowded. It's like a stepson of Dubai airport. As I landed at Terminal 3, I was worried that I will be directly transferred to terminal 2. But, before that, the transfer was through grand terminal 3. It is good to see a bit of 'life', but 15 hours is too long and difficult. It's just 0300 hrs local time and I have 9 more hours to spend. I am sleepy and tired. When I was working in Afghanistan, sometimes I travel via Dubai terminal 2. Back then, I wished to pass through other terminals. Now the wish has come true but a bit too much. 15 long hours.
