We arrived in Dubai last night. Our flight was about 12 hours long, but it was uneventful and it went by rather quickly. I got to seat next to a structural engineer who was coming to build another crazy building. He said whatever they were building was nearly impossible, but they are going to build it since they were going to pay them an insane amount of money.
Anyway, we decided to fight our lack of sleep and venture out in the city. We found a tour guide named Sharif who had agreed to take us out in the middle of the night. Dubai is a city of light in the middle of the dessert. There were as many skyscrapper as NYC, but much modern. There are constructions everywhere you look. We got to see the 7 star hotel, dipped our feet in the warm water of Arabian Sea, walked in the indoor ski slope, and more...
We are heading out to Uganda in a few minutes. Wish us luck.
