Most of the time, running slow is due to a bad capacitor. Replace with the exact specifications as the one in the fan. If the motor is stuck, you can check by turning the blades manually, when the fan is unplugged.

Even on a 15 hour flight in cattle class, humans should behave like humans. If not, there are cattle carriers which one could choose, if one feels they would be more comfortable on a long flight or voyage IMHO.

...always dress nicely, speak nicely and behave nicely at that immigration booth. Its not remotely difficult Isn't this how it should be naturally? NOT ONLY at immigration booths? Could this be a reason many foreigners get into untold misery with locals in any given country? Does a normal human have to try very hard to do this?

and she started looking at every page on my passport Now it seems many countries are going the electronic way and don't stamp anything on the passport - in or out. Some recent examples are Dubai (on your 1st visit an entry stamp, subsequent visits - nothing), Hong Kong (was in transit), Australia.

Last January, visited Dubai for 2 weeks. At that time the weather was good, quite cool but windy. Most of the places I visited was all built up, clean. Did a trip to Abu Dhabi by bus - comfortable and good. Did a desert safari, just for the heck of it - nothing to complain about and all was meticulously planned and arranged. Yes, I would go on a longer visit again. Very rarely would you see or meet a local - mostly foreigners. The most unusual observation I made was, seeing the most number of Bentley, Lamborghini, Maserati, Porche, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, Ferrari etc., all in one place, in a big car park of a rental company - all available for rent! Nothing comes cheap there!

Where is this? Looks nice.
