It seems like I’m just absolutely flabbergasted by the massive waste and excessive consumption happening in the United Arab Emirates right now. I am perpetually amazed. Where else on earth can you go from literally sweating your face off, to freezing your buns off in a matter of seconds? Only in Dubai, folks. -------------------- My most recent blog: A trip to Toronto that turned into a trip to Niagara

I had a nasty accident last weekend and my leg is now in plaster for the next 2 weeks! Not broken but some major ligament damage....and I was on the red run......the attendants were excellent and took very good care of me until I was off the slope! -------------------- If you really look like your passport photo, you need the holiday!
