Oh boy Dubai!

What an entertaining night. So I had lunch/breakfast, and then went to wander around town for a bit. Saw the Dubai museum, some shopping stalls, it's beautiful over here. Took an abra (boat) ride down Dubai creek and saw some really cool buildings, the old boats that they heave here are amazingly large and beautiful.

Headed back over to the hotel and thats where the fun begins....

I meet some people in the bar and hang out with them...one guy is Indian Navy, the other guys work for the airport. Good times...lots of laughs..the guys were harrassing the working girls...hee hee... I decided to explain to one of them that where I come from she has to pay me for sex...ha ha... got the dirtiest look and she walked away... :) I've never had to work this hard at repulsing women...ok, it's a natural thing.. but when you actually want them to go away...it's not that easy ;)

hang out there for a while, head over the the boys place after a very fun, fast, loud music car ride. Nice apartments.. the ones used by Emirates cabin crews.. the buildings here are phenomenal. Head up to the apartment itself... as soon as I walk in .. there's a gun pointed at my head.. BANG! the navy guy pulls the trigger... I didn't see him with the gun in his hand when I walked in...I'm too slow at my old age...but at least I didn't flinch when it went off.. it was an air gun..ha ha..very funny... :)
Chill there for a while listening to some really good Hindi and Trance music... played some darts.. left there and headed over to a bar called the Lodge
Get lost... 45 minutes later we end up there. The jackass bouncer wouldn't let us in... "Cabin Crew Only Tonite"... geez... I thought I left this cocky bouncer crap in Calgary.. so one of the guys convinces the bouncer that we all work for Emirates Security...haha... we get in...it's dead...
Had a Grrreat! Chicken Shawarma...8 Dhirams... so about C$2.75 mmm danced for a bit in the HUGE outdoor dance floor. I'm really starting to like this concept of outdoor dance bars... wish it was possible in good old Canada...brr... they had an indoor area as well for Rock and R&B/Hip-Hop music they were playin... the Dance/Techo music outside was great! I had a blast...very very tired by the end of it.

We took off and came back to hotel and I chill at the HoBar for a while...head over to the Mujjrah for a bit, and now I'm ready for bed, had a bit of a problem with my room so I get another room for the night...of course all my stuff is still in my room.. lucky #333...grr.... anyways...manage to get some sleep, wake up, relax a bit... then head to my room so I can have a shower, get changed (yes I do shower) etc... GUESS WHAT??? still a problem there moved my stuff and took it to the new room #326... so I get all my stuff, have a shower, get ready...

Met up with one of Sarfraz's friends Rafik, really cool guy,... took me to the big big big a$$ mall here in Dubai... the damn thing is HUGE we're talking big... lots of brand names and really expensive...but...but...but... I found a FRENCH CONNECTION STORE :) !!! bought a shirt from there (I couldn't resist, even though I have no room in my bags) "FCUK ON HOLIDAY" I think it's appropriate.
Got to go and see the town of Sharjah.. an non alcoholc city attached to Dubai itself...drove through Deira Dubai which is one half of Dubai, the other being Bur Dubai.
and then back to my hotel...

finally found an internet cafe that wasn't FULL, ok it was, but I waited for 10 mins and its fine now.

thats my update... def a long one.. hope you enjoyed it.... until later .... f
