Regal

Many thanks to Regal Material Shop in Barsha, just in the shadow of the Mall of the Emirates.

This was the first step to my new wonderful wardrobe.  (Hopefully)

I’ve bought enough material for three dresses, so I will update you with my progress!

DIFC

As With AC, Wealth in the Middle East is shown with water.

Nothing says Money and power like cooled porches and spectacular fountains in the middle of a Desert.

DIFC

This area is beautiful on the weekends when the offices empty and everyone goes home.

It’s an amazing place to look in awe at how glass can be moulded by architects like sorcerer’s  smokes.

This view is from between the colossal giant legs that form the DIFC Gate.

DIFC

Shining examples of stunning architecture of Dubai can be found in every corner of DIFC.

This main gate is a home to offices, restaurants, gyms and shops and is surrounded by perfectly manicured lawns.

Twitchers Return

So my Step mother flies in for three days, and the birds come flocking.  Pun intended.

Emirates Towers

These icons of Dubai stand slightly aside form the rest of the building of the Sheikh Zayed Road and have their own Metro station.

Barsha on the Weekends

What can you expect from a typical weekend in Al Barsha?

Well, with the Mall of the Emirates on your doorstep, new shops are opening all the time, inducing passers by to spend their hard, or not so hard earning cash

The Mall of the Emirates

And, since alcohol isn’t legally available to take away unless you are registered with the government and have bought and been approved for an alcohol license, non-alcoholic beverages are all the rage…

So, to settle an argument.  If you banned alcohol, european cities would still be messy on a sunday morning, just with different trash, and yes, a lot less of it.  But broken glass from bacardi-free breezers still cut as deep.

Finally, just as a side note – Lemon flavoured Non-Alcoholic Beer – sounds disgusting.

Crossroads

This sign is on a straight road, on a bridge in Dubai Marina.

This is my building.

Yes, I didn’t do anything interesting today, and needed a photo for the site.

But doesn’t it look pretty?
