Dubai

Dubai Marina. Looks nice in a way, but it was too hot at 8am to spend time outside in order to enjoy the view.

Dubai for us = A big air conditioned tunnel system that connects the main attractions (malls and skyscrapers and more skyscrapers, and constructions sites). 

Women in burka shopping for underwear.
 Holding hands and showing any kind of affection was strictly forbidden. Just as smoking. Also the malls were full of US stores and food places and we sometimes wondered in what country we were. 

And a gigantic aquarium to visit. What a fun shopping day. As we enjoy shopping so much we slept all day on benches in the mall and had some US snacks in between.

And as if it was not enough... a snow adventure park in one of the malls.

Burj Khalifa - yet another phallus symbol of 829,80 m.
