Dubai - Five Green

From the moment i stood on the steps of the entrance, approaching the heavy metal door, I knew instantly I was about to fall in love...

















Dubai International Financial Centre

The DIFC was less corporate and serious than i expected. Infact, i enjoyed everything that was there - even the hoardings for shops and galleries that are in construction.



















The DIFC was just opposite my hotel but it was more complicated than just simply crossing the road - traffic in Dubai is just terrible. Despite that, I made my way there for 2 major exhibitions that i didn't want to miss.

Dubai - Raffles Hotel

From the website banner of Raffles Dubai, one can more or less expect the view from the tip of the pyramid - breathtaking.

The alfresco moment felt so REAL, especially with the wind blowing. Definitely a better sight than seated indoors within the glass panels.
