Well here I am in Dubai - in the United Arab Emirates. I have been here before and stayed in a resort hotel - it was fun and I enjoyed it but I was only there 2 days so it was OK (I get bored very quickly). This time I am staying at the Moevenpick Hotel which seems to be in a more central location.…

I made my flight! So I have arrived in Hamburg from Rome just in time but I only have less than two hours to catch my other flight to Manila. It's not a connecting flight so I still have to check-in again but first I have to get my other baggage stocked in the airport for 4 days. Phydie and I had t…

Were you ever in this situation when while travelling to some place in the world you had this strong feeling this is your home (even though your home is thousands of kilometers away) or that you have already been here...or belong here. Opening your mind to all the surprises which are served to you …

"Dune Bashing" is basically when you have someone pick you up in an SUV..you drive out pretty far to get to the desert area. The driver then deflates the tires on the SUV a little bit because otherwise you'll roll over on a dune. It is really crazy and kinda scary..you go up dunes not knowing w…

Now that summer is over, what a nice temperature to go and spend a day at the beach :) so me and my roomie jasmine(Jas_jm24)  decided to hit the beach yesterday afternoon and planned to stay until sunset. Good thing the beach is just walking distance from our place, how lucky lol. Was in…

I must agree that Dubai is such a nice place to visit. You'll never feel unwelcome wherever you go, no matter what race you are.

So this morning I was driving to work, as I always do during weekdays, stopped at the red light to turn left to Sh Rashid Road to get to Garhoud. I looked up and I realised the metro (which is currently on trial basis) just passed by. Not sure if my eyes betrayed me but it looked blue. (And I just …

English version comming soon...   Spaliśmy do 10:30 i ledwo zdążyliśmy na śniadanie w restauracji hotelowej, które było bardzo dobre i było z czego wybierać. Po śniadanku wbiliśmy się w eleganckie ciuchy i pojechaliśmy na lunch do Burj Al. Arab. Ten 7* hotel jest wybudowany na …

One can just be amazed and impressed by the designs, size, heights, shapes, etc of the buildings in Dubai. There is always room for imagination and creativity for the architects designing the buildings. Despite all the interesting buildings or tallest building, my favourite is still Burj …

Because the hotels are owned by the same group, we were able to move freely between the two.  We were still in the exploring mood, so across the bridge it was to the Burj Al Arab.  There was a line of Rolls Royces and limos in front of the door, each with it's own chauffeur to take y…

If you own a construction company, you'd be minting money in Dubai it's expanding at a ridiculous rate! Dubai's next biggest tourist attraction: An Indoor ski slope with tobogganing hills along with your very own fake snow.    How could one resist?  If Dubai could be summed …

I was not so looking forward to work in Dubai until I heard I was going to work with about 70 different nationalities.  But this turned out to be just the second thing that I like when I reached the city.  The first thing that I really like about it is the attitude that everything is po…

June 01, 2008: One of the longest transatlantic flights I have taken in a long while, well not really because last year I did the same leg. I wonder why this time if felt extremely long. New York (JFK) to Dubai (Sheikh Rashid International). During the twelve hour layover in Dubai, Emirates Airline…

I probably spent more time shopping today than I did in all of 2008. We are in Dubai, a pit-stop visit on our flight from Sydney to Brussels, and our final day before reaching our destination.Dubai is surprisingly beautiful. On the drive from Abu Dhabi to Dubai, Dubai stretches out as 40km of glass…
