Dubai

Its a funny place Dubai, hot and dry but with shower heads the size of dinner plates, women in the full burqa led around by guys with designer jeans and expensive cameras, white robed (or dish dash) wearing dudes being served by Pakistanis and Indians - with Chinese girls as maids. While a growing number of expats party likes it's 1999. Anyway I'm off to the Wild Wadi - but I can't bring myself to go indoor downhill skiing - all that energy (fossil fuel energy) wasted so Emratis and their guests can go downhill skiing. But at only $A100 for two hours its probably a lot of fun....
