Do - Buy



Putting this up after a lil while as i was off to dubai., waited long for this break and finally made it. I owe a lot to this place, it has taught me quite a lot about life during the 3 yrs i spent over there, most important of all PATIENCE!

Dubai is famed for it’s visitors the many thousands of people that flirt with the damsel that is Dubai for a few brief days or hours. Dubai being the mistress that it is, will inevitably leave a mark on all that encounter her. Some will fall in love with her and forever yearn to come back and see her again, others will just be smitten by her and end up staying for good. There are some who will for the rest of their lives rue the day they ever laid eyes on Dubai, for them she is nothing but an unfaithful temptress.

Dubai is like a massive melting pot of every possible and impossible thing in the world. And melting it is, with temperatures settling comfortably in mid forties. I so far refused to melt and spend most of my free time indoors and at shopping malls. The only recent and quite memorable outdoor event that will take me a while to get over was the trip to Palm Jumeirah, Indeed was spellbound after witnessing the way it had shaped up. And at the Jumeirah Beach Residences, the sight was awesome at the beachfront with a lot of tourists getting a neat tan out of sun. Just the right temperature, and only a little rougher than I would prefer. The Area i was put up, 'Mirdiff'was so quiet that it deserves a note!. Dubai to me is a strange land, a lil bit fascinating and welcoming, but still a strange land and controversial too.

If u ask me to phrase Dubai in an one liner it wud b something like this 'Dubai is like once beautiful woman, thats had too much plastic surgery and has lost her soul to selling herself'
