Dubai Trippin'

The last work week was kinda hectic. First of all, I think I had less sleep during the past so I'm doing all the sleeping I need this weekend. Last week I accompanied my friend Irish to look for a bedspace so we went strolling around the Bur Dubai area. The first shot on the left is from the walkway near Burjuman, one of the 'high-class' malls here. Irish treated me to this waffle place (damn I forgot the name), and the waffles were really good. I had this waffle with mocha ice cream placed in top of it, drizzled with caramel. It was simply superb. I still had the taste of the caramel waffle staying in the mouth even even when I arrived home. The following day I had to attend this press conference, or a forum perhaps, about the latest technologies that are introduced in the last year. Speakers from Panasonic, Nokia and other big known companies have their own takes speaking in the forum. The forum was held at Madinat Jumeirah, all the way in the Jumeirah area, near the Burj Al Arab. I took a picture of the Jumeirah Beach Hotel (Yeah I know everything seems to be named Jumeirah), that's next to the Burj Al Arab. I also passed by the huge UAE flag in the area, and I remember Irish and me walking past the old villas and new ones being built, and you can see the new Dubai taking shape. This is such a facinating place. It's no wonder a lot of people, from all races flock to come here. Opportunities are great, and enough hard work would definitely get you to the top.
