- Waking up. Eating in bed. Headache. But the view makes me forget about it.
- Landscape changes, and people faces too.
- There is a guy with a Chinese book next to me. I think some guys are praying on the bed.
- It makes me feel at ease to imagine that I'll be staying in a place where there is, à priori, a language bariere. I just will be one more guy that don't understand what is said.

- Yes, it's a prayer. Looks like a Muslim one. He is joining hands, palms turned to face. No rag. He, in particular, is shaved. Some of his friends have beards.
