... midnight. After a one hour cab ride passing by Burj al Arab and Burj Dubai I returned to the airport, but could hardly find any sleep that night.

Sunday morning I boarded the same type of plane that brought me from Vienna to Dubai and had to find out that approximately the same amount of passengers on that flight were carrying double the hand luggage and thus I could hardly find any space for my 25 kilo bag.

... Ahmed, the wife slaying asylum seeker. I was confident that if I could have afforded to stay a few more weeks in Dubai I would have been able to find a private yacht heading that way, but the heat was making it difficult to get around town and find things outs. According to the weatherman on BBC World it was 41 degrees (in the shade ofcourse) and 40 percent humidity. According to me it was closer to 60 degrees and 100 percent ...

Die meeste koorlede is vanmore weer vroeg op om nog 'n laaste paar "rides" te vang, en nog inkopies te doen. Almal is by die busse om 11:00 en ons begin ons terug tog na die RSA. Lang rye en regte Franse ongeskiktheid op die lughawe sien dat ons, ons stof van ...

Rek bene op Dubai. BLABLABLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ...

Oasis? My summer started in Dubai-pretty much the exact opposite of Tanzania, but a nice way to ease back into the traveling lifestyle. I managed to finagle a four-day stopover to check out what Mariam, one of my best friends from Georgetown, has been up to for the last year. I was also really excited to see what Dubai's global buzz was all about Well, my first impression was that this had to be the most infernally hot place on Earth.

... which is part of the older city. The older buildings are slowly being demolished to make way for newer higher rises and architure wonders. We drove around and checked out the city and true to form I began reading every Arabic sign I saw.

... I was pleasantly surprised to find a meal voucher under my door; a reward for filling out a questionnaire. I opted once again for the Iftar choice. A wide arrange of appetizers followed buy a great mixed grill. Dubai isn't cheap for the sole traveler. Hotels seem to be generally quite expensive, and when you factor in food and taxis (there is no proper public transport yet) it soon adds up. However, the luxury of the hotel has been ...

... but twice the size the biggest Walmart I've ever seen and given a swank French name. When I say huge, I mean it, there are EASILY 40-60 checkout registers. Price-wise its odd here, things are usually the same price or cheaper then in the States. I bought a nice comforter, pillow and sheets for about $15USD which I thought was quite a deal. Also water is only 1 dirham, which is like 30 cents, and the bottles are bigger then your standard US bottle. I went to ge a simcard ...

... many people. It then took us that long again to find out the number 8 bus went there and would take an hour. There were no Westerners or women at the bus station and as it was already 3.30 pm & I didn’t want to get back here in the dark. We decided to catch the number 3 bus back to our hostel.

Slept in until 8 am and had a lazy day. Everything we had to do was locally,money from the bank, pick up laundry and burn a CD.
