... like an Egyptian temple with 30ft colossal statutes of pharaohs but just like every other modern shopping mall lots of upmarket shops, designer clothes etc.  The Mall of the Emerates to check out the ski park was next it looked really cold inside, ...

... so lovely. Even when they wear the full black chador (is this the right word) they wear trendy shoes and possibly even go mad with designer glasses and make-up. This may not seem a big deal to you dear reader, but in Iran this is daring in the extreme. ...

... ). I asked about a gym. There isn´t one there but this didn´t strike me as a surprise because there is no McArthur Glen designer outlet centre either. To his credit he came up trumps again and introduced me to GoGo(cool name). GoGo has a gym in his ...

Well a busy day planned, two designer outlets first one at the south end of the strip, and the other at the north  there ok but nothing special. We take a look at Fremont Street the riginal casino area very dated and the journey here on the bus ...

... . C’est aussi l’occasion de manger les fameux mooncakes. J’ai passé une demi-heure dans la boutique comme voyageur et designer de la marque et on ne m’a même pas proposé à boire et de m’assoir, je vous parlais avant du ...

... nudie sauna/snow-roll (wisely methinks) but we'd seen some pretty unusual art, met new friends and survived a night in our very own designer igloo. It was great fun but had a royal price. Still, what more could one ask? Next entry -> Pictures from the ...

... few chairs to look at the view but nowhere to get a cocktail or something while doing so in the open air.  Stupido hotel designer;  that’s where the Bar should have been located – dickheads.  However, I was yearning for glass of ...
