I chose to fly Emirates back to UK as it’s the only airline that flies to Birmingham International Airport (BHX). The rest fly to Manchester or London, London is a real hassle to get out of (and expensive). Manchester isn’t too bad but it’s still a couple of hours drive up the M6. BHX is […]

Dubai Desert Safari – Part II – Belly Dancing BBQ!
So after a gruelling trek through the desert and some pounding sand duning in the jeep we headed to camp for some dinner and entertainment, all inclusive in the package of course. We were pretty starving by the time we got there as it’s not recommended to eat before the sand duning as you’ll most […]
Dubai Desert Safari – A must do!
Ah finally back from Dubai, my sleeping pattern is a bit screwed though because of the 4 hour time difference and the 7 hour overnight flight.. It’ll get back to normal soon enough I guess.. Well yes, finally I’m back! Dubai was…hot and sandy and it makes me fat as you can order everything under […]
Dubai..sand…. sand…cranes …sand & Jack Daniels
I’m going out of my mind really, I’m not sure how much more of this I can take.. I have nothing to do, the hotel had no Internet (unless I paid a ridiculous RM100), the appartment I’m staying in now has no Internet and has 3 TV channels. I’ve spent the last 3 days doing […]
Stranded in Dubai..

A Trip to Dubai – Day 2
So I had a free day, what to do.. I asked around and it seems there isn’t many attractions in Dubai, the Burg Al Arab area…Emirates Mall and its snow thing, some other shopping centres and that’s about it. I wanted to find a street market or Bazaar, so I got recommended Deira, about the […]
A Trip to Dubai – Day 1
So off I went travelling again, via Doha airport this time (Qatar). I love airports..because? They are full of booze! Touching down in Dubai I found it extremely hot and a rather depressing grey colour and yeah hot (if I didn’t mention it already). I asked a few people and they said the sky is […]
Flying back…
In a couple of hours, just surfing on the 20RM an hour Internet in the hotel lobby, things are incredibly expensive here.. The exchange rate is 1-1 pretty much (1RM = 0.994 Dirhams or something) but everything is double the price, no wonder people love taking holidays in Malaysia.. A KFC meal will cost you […]
