Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Dubai is certainly interesting. Ronan, Jon and I took the Hop-On Hop-Off Big Bus Tour, which lasted both days in all. It's really just a huge city. What's amazing is the mass amount of construction happening all at once; they go 24 hours a day in two twelve-hour shifts just to make deadlines. Everything is the biggest and best, or being reconstructed to become the biggest and best. Honestly, who needs an entire indoor ski slope in a mall!? It's a fun city, nevertheless, full of little treasures and a nice mix of very modern and traditional architecture. I do recomend visiting some day - every year it will just become more and more different.
