Dubai is a Crazy place

When you see it from the air it seems like a God forsaken place; just desert and not even the nice one with dunes, just plain dirt.

Yet these people have managed to create a place which is hard to describe. 24% of the world construction cranes are in Dubai it seems like the entire city is going through a major overhaul (which is actually true). The architecture is beautiful and very unusual, opulence seems a cheap word to describe the fantastical nature of these projects. If the palms was not enough they are now making Dubai World a man made archipelago of islands that look like (you're right) The World.

I spent my day doing the only thing you can do in 100 degree weather with 40% humidity. Shop. The shopping malls are over the top, I went to the city center which I thought was amazing until I went to Wafi. It seems like the place has been created for billionaires who are unable to find mega malls where they can spend $100K on a watch. The place can only be described as fantastical, it has an Egyptian pyramid theme with stained glass, wall carvings, Italian marble, out door restaurant (for the smokers) with blasting air conditioners; basically no expense has been spared to make sure you will not hold to your wallet. Literally All the mega, boutique and ultra exclusive brands are here (50% off).

I hate to say that I succumbed to the pressure, how long can you be in a candy store before you finally give up the temptation. In my case it was 3 hours and 25 mins.

So, here I am in a hotel with a roof top pool, which I cannot use because its just too hot. So, I'll finish my work email and then its off to The Land of the Pure (Pakistan).
