Our stopover in Dubai
Just wanted to share a few photos from my Dubai trip. It was just a short one. Stayed at the Lotus Boutique Hotel; it was either a 3-star or a 4-star, I can’t remember. Nice modern hotel – nothing to complain really and the room we checked into also came with breakfast. I do have to say that the room we stayed in was huge! In fact, I think it was a better accommodation than our hotel in NYC! 
It was situated in the Deira District, the old part of town.
On one of the days, we took a walk down the street in front of our hotel all the way to the Gold Souk. Man were there a lot of gold stores there! You can briefly see from the above photo. Too bad I had no money to buy any. Plus, I wouldn’t know how to haggle at these sort of places.
ZZZzzz @ Dubai Airport
Haven’t passed through Dubai Airport in ages! I think the last time I was through here was in the early 90s. I wonder if this is the same airport? It could be new, lots of construction currently going on and we had to take a bus instead of an aerobridge. Haven’t gone on one of those in ages as well! We transited (is that a word?) here on our way to NYC. We were flying Emirates, cause it was lighter on the pocket than Malaysia Airlines. Hard to be nationalistic when on a budget. Why can’t MAS be more competitive?
