I just got off a 14-hour flight from John F. Kennedy airport in New York to Dubai, in the UAE. Here are 3 annoying things that happened to me and may well be happening to you after your trip home for break.
1. You have no idea what time (or even day it is).
There's a nine-hour time difference between New York and Dubai, so I landed on Friday morning, but it was already Friday night. It's almost like time travel.
2. Your ears get all funny.
My ears were clogged when I landed. I'm still not sure if I can hear anything.
3. One side of your body hurts.
My body was in a super awkward position when I fell asleep on that tiny seat.
