Weekend Dubai

Just got back from a deserved (ultra short) vacation from Dubai (United Arabic Emirates). Damn, it was hot. At night the temperature got as low as 35 degrees celsius(!!!!). I didn't want to know what the temperatures were during the day. Thank god for airconditioning.

Four days of sun, and bloody good food. Dubai itself isn't that attractive, because most of the city is still under construction. Everywhere you look are construction sites, and every building company wants to deliver a bigger and more beautiful building. That results in a massive amount of 50+ floor buildings.

Mind you that Dubai isn't the cheapest place to stay. I was gratefull for the "sponsering" we received. It's definitely a place for the rich and famous (which I'm not). It is, however, a good place (for our mortals) to make some good money in a relatively small period, since you don't pay taxes over there :), and they do need lots of hands to build the city.
