Dubai Summer 2009

left Beijing this morning to fly to Dubai where we stay for 9 nights and then Amelie and Maheen are off to France and I go to Pakistan. Arrived in Dubai after 8.5 hrs just when sandstorm had swept through…poor visibility in the city and hot. Hotel is nice but its a shock for prices and quality of service when compared to China. I miss China already… only felt this when leaving Pakistan but today when leaving Beijing it felt like leaving home… no wonder on our arrival at hotel in Dubai the check in documents were typed in my name and they put my nationality as Chinese… despite presenting my UK passport which lost its virginity today… got voilated by same stamp as did my Pakistani passport 14 years ago… well… Dubai has perhaps some special link… here are some photos… hmm… my netbook doesnt want to use the insert photos wizard so will do that later…

here are the photos… well the issue was compatibility with IE8 and WordPress version I have installed… perhaps time to update wordpress or Microsoft to get its act together… knowing M$ I think I will have to update WP 😉
