Notes
Uganda ウガンダ(アフリカの国)
United Arab Emirates アラブ首長国連邦
——————–
I am in Uganda traveling with a small group from Japan. Uganda is in East Africa, so the easiest way to go there is through the Middle East. We took Qatar Airways and flew via Doha, Qatar, to Entebbe, the international airport of Uganda. As we left Doha, the plane did not fly the short route over Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Instead, it flew around over Oman. Then I remembered that Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. are not friendly now. They don’t let Qatar Airways fly over, so the planes have to go around and take a longer route. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
