yesterday couldnt do much in dubai as was feeling unwell....you already know about the bus incident...and i hardly slept as i had to attend my baby cousin aneeshas birthday party in the afternoon..she turned 5 :)...after the party went back to my uncle russels place and crashed....watched a movie at home in the night cause didnt want to go out of the house...even my uncle russel was tired as he was awake waiting for my call so he could pick me up from where the bus dropped me off in dubai.
today on the other hand was more fun...went with my uncle russel and his wife kimberly and met up with my two cousins who are also in dubai...one is aneesha age 5 and her bro leon age 12. they are`really good fun. aneesha is really full of masti fasti and leon is the calm cool caring elder brother (like me :))
we went to some huge shopping mall....called imd wemeida or something...all these arabic names confuse me.
so we enter and go to this gamin zone...where we spend a good part of two hours trying to win some stuff that we dont :)
then we walk on to the food court and have some yum yum lunch..i had some thai stuff...very nice....and then after lunch i think we done with the mall...but my wonderful cousin leon says that the mall is just starting and we havent gone anywhere yet...it makes me wonder about the size of indian malls!!!
anyways so on we trudge...when my uncles wife, kimberely, decides she wants to shop for clothes...so as the boys make a hasty retreat to the mens loo...kimberely and my cousin aneesha enter the terrain where no men dare to go, especially if they are carrying cash they dont intend on spending.
anyways after a good 15 mins, we think she is done but find her still looking through racks of stuff. finaly after a lot of superficial sighing she leaves the store and we walk on through the mall.
this particualr mall is divided into sections related to each country...so first you have "china"...where all the architecture, etc is related to china...then we have "india"...and so on.....it was fun...before you know it...its 6 o clock...so we decide to leave and go to another place called dubai creek...
believe me...you will love this place...if you havent seen it...its sprawling grass (that you can actually walk on, most other places with grass in mumbai have "no walking on grass" signs if you know)....and has a beautiful creek and wooden benches and a special place where you can go on a camel or horse or pony ride....was super peaceful to just sit and be!!
we roamed the zone and took lots of pics (i will upload soon)......they even had bicycles you could rent and roam the place with...what surpirsed me was how clean and devoid of crowds such a place was...even though it was a holiday....in bombay it probably would have been full of garbage and people by now.
we stayed til around 8:30...then decided to go home as my uncle and his wife have work tom....just finished with dinner and am heading to sleep soon.
wil mail when i get a chance to next.
