... I wouldn't change a thing on my itinerary so far.

In this city center I couldn't take but a few discrete pictures so this is about all I have for you. If I had more time of course I would have ventured into the jungle away from this chaos. All I really want to do though today is chill and try to find some food that won't kill me. Any type of movement is laborious and involves a ton of drenching sweat so I really just want to stay put and veg for a ...

... due to turbulence and changes in air pressure. On the positive side, one of Emirates great features is an infinite collection of movies, television shows, and music. I saw Slumdog Millionaire, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and part of Frost-Nixon. But I could have selected anything from their vast collection. Dubai airport has to have been designed by the same architects building Las Vegas. Glitzy, covered in lights, all it needs are slot ...

... to show me where I could change money. This turned out to be some dry cleaning shop down a back alley a few hundred yards away, where the money changer kept "accidentally" hitting the wrong keys on the calculator, or telling me that he was making honest mistakes and I hadn't seen the right number because it was dark in the shop. In the end I punched in the numbers on the calculator and got him to count out the ...

... to be in India! The evenings are really quiet as it gets dark around 6h30 - 7pm and almost everything is closed by 8pm. So I spend a lot of time reading and writing my journal. Luckily the rooms are not too dreadful to spend the evening.....(but enough to give Katie and Stacey ...

... last week, her dad hit her mum on the head which meant she had to stay in hospital for a few days. It's awful to think what these kids see at home - to look at them, you would think they are "normal" children but we can never know what is really going on. There's a boy in preschool called Barnock who has behavioral problems (I think he has signs of AHD). I ...

... After the city tour with Jan, we went exploring - read: Find a bar. Found a nice bar with Ted & Danny Boy and enjoyed several Lion Beers, the local speciality to end the night. Next morning we met up with Mr Richmond, who would travel with us for the next week, & headed with Jan ...
