Weekend Update #2: Daytrip Up to Dubai

Yesterday, on Friday (our Saturday), the crew hitched a ride up to Dubai (about 60 minutes north) with a co-worker/neighbor, Andrew the expat from the UK. We were up in Dubai for about 5 hours and I had the chance to see and do at least 4 several "life firsts":

• see motorcycle and car racing live at the track (we were literally in garages and pits at the Dubai Autodrome)
• see the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa tower (it was damn high)
• get my haircut by and Indian gent (best, quickest and cheapest 'do I've found in a long while)
• saw the indoor ski "mountain" inside a mall. Wasn't sure if I should laugh, be disgusted or go join the fake fun - I'll leave it up to you.

Definitely an action-packed day, that I'm almost postive, couldn't be found anywhere else in the world. Over-the-top? Maybe. A bit hilarious? Possibly. A unique experience and something new? Definitely. So, as they say, words just don't have any shot against pictures, so I'll leave it up the magic camera to tell you all the rest of the Dubai story:
