My Impression of Dubai...

I regret to inform that I don't like it here in Dubai...this i found to be a shocking phenomenon...but its true. Its not that it is such a terrible place...its just not my cup of tea.

I love warm weather...this place takes it to another level...why am I suprised...dont ask...it is the middle of the desert.

I love the beach...its good for one thing...surfing...there are no waves here...why risk getting eaten by a shark right?? however some water here is clear blue...but the water here is not tropical...and theres not tropical colorful beautiful things to see...dissappointing.

Now Im not going to lie...there are cool things...they have the biggest mall in the world...we went yesterday...there is a full size aquarium and an olympic size ice hockey rink inside...and thats cool. The only thing is...i can go to all the shops at home...or to the long beach aquarium...or to sea world...we might not have it all at one mall but we have it all...so yeah coming to Dubai for that really isnt worth it (from a vacation standpoint)

There are pretty things to see here...but its all man made...its not like going to Hawaii where everything is just gorgeous and lush and green and tropical...its like...wow this is ONE cool street that has nice things but dont turn left there or you will be in construction central.

There is construction EVERYWHERE here...the construction crane is the national bird.

Im not complaining...im happy to say that ive seen it and that way my opinion is valid...i had high hopes...but i wouldnt come back...or reccommed for a vacation.i would much rather spend a vacation on the beaches of Tahiti...figi...or bali...or see the rainforrest in Central America...or expirience the Congo (besides all the fighting that goes on) but really im not a desert lover...

we are however gonna take a desert camping adventure one weekend...you gotta do it while your here...ill let you know how it goes. for now...i should get back to work.
