20 Things About Dubai

1. I loved it

2. Their roads never go straight, just in circles and loops

3. Their taxi drivers insist on driving at the fastest possible speed around these circles so that within the first 10 seconds of your ride you're nauseous

4. When I had the Truffle Pasta at the Armani Cafe I didn't like it that much, but now i'm really craving it.... so badly that I want to cry

5. I met a lovely woman outside the hotel and had a nice long conversation with her while we were waiting for a cab...then I found out she was a prostitute. (Point being, they have very educated and friendly prostitutes)

6. I started using the term "Cab it"

7. Indians and Paki's have taken over the nation...wainkom yal emaratiyeen matbaynoon !

8. When you look at the Atlantis Hotel from our hotel balcony (which is really far away) the Hotel looks magical!

9. I don't understand the Emaraty accent and the Emaraty's didn't understand mine!

10. Don't ever get into a Taxi with a driver called Lanny because he'll try to sell you off to men

11. The shopping was amazing

12. For those who were asking, the Circus we went to was called Alegria and it was really really nice...the main song for the circus which I think is called Alegria too (I'm going to look it up now) is one of the best songs I've ever heard

13. The weather was cold and windy when we were there which I hear is unusual? Madry...garadti lol .

14. All of Dubai is under construction....literally, all of it!

15. Abyy Truffle Pasta :(

16. A very scary thing happened on the second night there and I really thought we might not make it through it safely...but we did and so I learnt a very very very important lesson ;p

17. It's true when they say you don't really know your friends until you travel with them!

18. I slept a total of 4 hours in the approximate 48 that I was there ...

19. People thought I was drunk about 3 times during the entire stay ..my friend kept making me laugh hysterically then when I couldn't control myself she'd tell people I was drunk...which made me laugh even more and made me appear even more drunk!

20. You think fe majal they deliver the truffle pasta to Kuwait?




--
ps: I missed Kuwait the second I got off the plane in Dubai :(
pps: I'd go back there though ...
ppps: eli 3inda the chance to go to Cirque Du Soleil lay6ooofkom really..
