Dubai at a glance
Hello!! I’m so tired and sleepy now but I really want to show you some pictures! I’m in Abu Dhabi now with my whole family, visiting my dad who’s working here. I actually really like AD and Dubai although I was a little reluctant to come at first. I’m glad I did though 
Here are 8 pictures of Dubai that will summarize my trip so far!
The Carrefours here are INSANE! Seriously I have never seen a place with so many varieties and choices before!!!
Butter naan, hummus and curries here are so good =D
I’m really at a desert! We saw a few camels too!
The train stations are too damn cool. Seriously that’s not a train station it’s a freaking bullet!! wtf
Finally, the Burj Al-Arab in all its glory!
Taken with an awesome camera (Canon G10) by an awesome photographer (you know who lah a bit shy to mention wtf)
Failed jump shot at the beach
The bus stops here are so cool!! Cool as in both aesthetically modern-looking and also cause they are all air-conditioned!
If I can summarize Dubai with one word, it’ll be cool. Dubai is just way too cool for most people to handle.
Gonna go biking around the beachfront tomorrow and then desert safari the day after!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 !متحمس وسعيدة
Arabic words are so pretty ♥ okay night will try to blog again soon!

Dubai is amazing! haha all their buildings are modern cuz they have a lot of money for that from supplying oil and stuff. it’s soo cool i wish i was there. i wonder what the malls/shopping places are like over there. and have fun at the safari! and prepare properly unlike the mountain hike u did at hk lol bring lots of sunscreen, water, and closed shoes that won’t let the sand get in there 
Yah desert safari is one MUST do thing in Dubai, you can check out the mall with the ski slope inside too it’s nuts.
Cant wait to see more photos!!
but isn’t the city going to shithole already? :/
their food are just awesome isnt it? i’ve been to a restaurant that serves nice Arabic and Middle East food and it is just so awesome. especially their dhal (drooling!) but i guess nothing beats having them right at Dubai!!
their technology is so advanced and everything seems so modernized. its good to see that you’re so ecstatic. have more fun and also HAPPY 2010!!!

dubai is not a country, it’s a city in the UAE, which is one of the richest countries in the world but not the richest (that’s probably luxembourg). and dubai is broke-ass right now, it just defaulted on its debts, which is SRS BSNS in the world of finance.

I didn’t realise Dubai is so pretty! I thought it’s all desert and camel hahaah
Air-conditioned bus stop is sooo cool!!!
Wish you enjoy your holiday there!
Because Dubai is shit ass now, are they selling off everything on sale?
Well, I was in Iceland when they went broke too, but everything was the same only we had to use American Dollars or the Euros because the Icelandic Kronar was frozen.
it’s the government that’s broke, not the people, at least not directly. day to day business should still be unaffected kua.
I can’t wait to camwhore with your amazing camera and photography skills.
clem, yeah very nice right! u should go!
abby, it’s nice! =D
mell, i think about two times more than msia? or maybe 3 times..pretty expensive la, ppl earn more here ma
michelle, hehe im such a showoff!
lynn, it’s sooo modern compared to msia! but i cant wait to see the all desert and camels part!
cline, thanks! =)
lisa, nope everything is still the same! got alot sales though but it’s normal i think

I’ve been 2 years here in Abu Dhabi..u’re by far the first person who says “I like AD and Dubai” =D good to know =) all we crews wanna do is get out of abu dhabi =p
Yea Esther C., I didnt like AD either, I was sitting there solving my Suzoku, and a guy came to ask me to follow him to toilet!!
The airport security is quite tight (I was there 2008), they even want to see my MYCARD??!!!
Hi Janet, how come ask u follow him to toilet??!! Even when u walk on the street also, the Pakistanis’ eyes will pop out looking at u..i dun go out here, unless really necessary!!
Tight security?? Wow, that’s something new to me..for us crews we dun usually get the hassle to be checked in the airport..but tight security is a good thing =p btw, they know what MYCARD is??!! lolz..
onefourever, yeap!
esther, there are so many things to do here! i like =D actually in msia it’s worse what the guys will call u amoi amoi and whistle wtf.
