Well a couple days have past since my first entry.. they have been interesting ones....
Saturday was an awesome day, we spent the day oggling at the life of excess of the people of Dubai. The malls that were there probably have no rival on the planet. The first mall we went to The Mall of the Emirates has an indoor skiing area, you believe that. An entire run with a chair lift and everything. The stores are amazing, we learned the lesson really fast that if the door to the store is closed and the person working there is wearing gloves that you probably can't afford what they are selling.. On the flip side I looked at a watch that would sell for about $8-10k in the US that was about $6300 there. The Dubai Mall where the Burg Kalifa is located is one of the largest malls I have ever seen. We walked about 2 miles just walking around the mall. We had an amazing Steak Dinner before we went our seperate ways on Sunday...
Sunday morning was remarkably easy going. It is obvious that the people of Dubai, which is totally a melting pot country, are used to making it easy for people to pass through their country. Left Dubai at about 1230 local time and after a 3ish our flight landed in Djibouti.
Djibouti is an interesting country. It will be an interesting couple of months. More to come in my next update.... CLU LIVING
