Hitting the transit lanes again



From what I gather, 
"Yalla, yalla, yalla, yalla" roughly  means
" Come on, hurry up "
 "lai, lai , kia , kia"  
" mari, mari, cepat, cepat" 
or something to that effect if  I'm not wrong. 
( Man , I've now progressed to guessing an Arabic
term and translating that into a dialect and 2 languages . Chronic ) 






However, nobody on board Emirates will ever use this impatient term on us, their beloved passengers, no not even if you're sitting in the humble economy class ....unless of course, a REAL emergency situation warrants it !?!? 
Thus, expect to only hear it from moody immigration officers on the ground especially where the x ray scanners are located. 

Taking a short spring break. I'll be back !
