Holiday Inn Dubai-Al Barsha

... last time I was here. I kept two hundred dollar bills in my pocket in case I got caught. Great dessert bar. You can land you chopper on the roof and walk to your table, You can also look down and see the Palm Island development, big beyond comprehension. Scores of hotels, hundreds of big houses, all built on a manmade island in the Gulf. <br><br>Tomorrow...Return to Africa!

... Dubai and it was all a bit trying again. <br><br>OMG that place is unreal I am sure if you look up the words "Consumerism" or "obscene wealth" there would be a picture of Dubai airport by the description... having traveled for over 24 hours already with no sleep all I wanted to do was get a little shut eye, however the gale force air conditioning (no expense spared - air redirected from the arctic tundras ...

im on a computer inside an electronic store in Dubai airport. every slow internet but oh well, it free. yesterday was a very eventfull day. after checking into my room, i met an American who was doing a semester abroad in Spain with 2 other friends. I went out with them to the Tower of London. We took the tube to London bridge and walked along the river board walk towards to Castle. Beautiful day, proabably close to 24C sunny. I already have been to the ...

... and seafood, some Nan bread, and butter chicken. All I can say is wow was it good!! The chicken was basically in a bowl of orange butter type dressing and the bread was pita bread that was really soft and had a lot of butter on it as well. I highly doubt it was very healthy, but boy was it delicious! After eating Chris had some extra time so he wanted to show me the area of Villa's that he sells called the Emirates Hills. The whole complex is built ...

... hotel until about 8:30 pm so before we knew it we were waiting for our flight back to Australia. We didn't do any shopping but it would have been financially impossible anyway. You need money to shop! Our tour encompassed the whole of the city including things such as the Dubai Museum which gave us an excellent overview of the old Dubai of fishing fleets and pearl diving. We had an abra (small boaty thing) ride down the Creek to the souks ...

... the seats are only for women. I also saw women denýed becuase the front seats were full. We výsýted the Gold Souq where I poýnted out a bracelet worth 20000 dýrhams. The attendant then placed it on Kýrstens wrýst, I was scared for her! We took another bus to the Burj-al-Arab where the heat was unbelievable. 45 degrees at least wýth 70% humýdýty because its rýght on the beach. Its a great lookýng buýldýng though especýally when lýt up at ...

... but it is safe to say that i was mightily ****** off. On leaving that room i was taken to a table where several customs officals went through my main bag with a fine toothcomb. I realised that i had some pirate DVD's in my bag that were wrapped up in a black big bag. When they found this bag it did look very dodgy and they got very excited and were dissapointed to see it was only DVD's. In the ned they let me go but it ...

... poor receptionist on the other end of the phone?! However the Iftar buffets are amazing and the shisha great. Check out www.dubaidaysarabiannights.blogspot.com for a dubian experience. Eid is the festival that ends Ramadan. Everybody is out socialising and Eating. I spent the first day of Eid at Wild Wadi, a massive water theme park next to the Jumeriah Beach Hotel. Awesome!

Thought you all might appreciate an update on all the little random photos I take around town. I started a new page even, because the other one was getting so full. I found this in Muscat. I don't think it was the result of Cyclone Gonu, but I really don't know why it doesn't go all the way down to the ground. From Jumeira Beach Park--the famous horses ...
