What Of Dubai...

Its been a good few days dwelling in the Arabian Delights of Dubai; certainly a very different way to spend christmas.

To keep it breif, the plus points:

• Good weather, excellent customer service, and beautifully presented.

And, negative Points:

• All the taxi drivers, drive like looneys!
• Many streets in Burj Dubai feel the same, causing a temporary sense of dislocation.

In all honesty I do like Dubai, the soothing tones of the locals being called to prayer and the ideal blend of pleasant, but not roasting weather, has made for a really relaxing and wonderous time! Which leads me to my final points, things I will remember the most:

• The amount the locals "honk" each other as they drive - its like a competition of who can toot their horn the most - very funny!
  
• Mistaking an Arabic version of a Szechuan for an English version of a Szechuan - Ouch!
  
• ...rediscovering the delights of relaxing and doing what the hell you want! Thank God for Starworld movie channel - Geez I've been watching some crap!
  
• Rekindling my love for water parks - even when they do rip the seat out your pants - isn't that right Chep? ;)
