After two days of almost nonstop exploring (the little breaks we had to take were due to the heat (over 50°C during the day, still over 40°C during the night) and Ramadan (no water until nightfall)) we know for a fact that
1. Arabian food is the best, especially when enjoyed after a long day without food or drink with lots of hungry and happy muslims after their nightfall prayers
2. Dubai really is a desert flower - more sand in my hair than in my shoes after the desert safari tonight
3. To desperately hide in a deserted mall-corner to get a sip of a coke is the best way to drink it - makes you feel so happy and somewhat criminal
4. The highest buildings don't seem so high until you're sitting at their top, seeing the next sandstorm coming into the city
5. Crossing the creek with an Abra in the local manner is great until you have to jump off at the docks while the little boat is still in motion and you are wearing your miami city plateau flip-flops
6. Dubai might be one of the few places where not having COLD water for showering is a real problem
7. Dealing on Souks (traditional markets) is a skill we clearly have to further develop
8. Exploring Malls in Dubai takes more than big amounts of money, it takes time. We didn't have any of those so we have to come back.
People, go to Dubai, this mixture of traditional and ultra modern lifestyle is truly mindblowing!
... next stop: Beijing.
