Shopping Malls and Jewellry






That about sums it up. The snow shots are from the Mall of the Emirates indoor ski/snowboarding/sledding hill. They will rent participants the necessary outerwear to endure the winter conditions. I took this through the glass inside the shopping mall. Other shots include what Dubai does best: gold!

I've heard about indoor ski hills, but have never actually seen one. I've wondered how they set them up.

I was fortunate enough to be living about 2 blocks from this massive structure as it was being built. You can't even find my lonely apt. building anymore. You used to be able to say to a taxi driver, "Grey building, Barsha" and he knew. Now that area is so built up...anyway, the ski hill was the first thing built, a structure of metal and concrete. And the rest, well, anything is possible in Dubai. Money makes progress and luxury happen overnight.

I like my bobbles, too, Tamara! When I lived in Egypt, I bought loads of great silver pieces. When I moved to Dubai, I developed a new special affection for semi-precious stones and gold. Will have to post the picture of the ring I got for myself this trip!
