Dubai's first look

My first day at Dubai gives me a different perception and impression on it. Dubai is a nicely planned and crafted metropolitan. Dubai's development are booming and exploding too fast. The landscape planning and architechture here are very impressive, especially their engineering and high quality of work. The weather here is around 40 degree during day time and down to 38 degree at night. It is a quite hot compared to Malaysia's weather but still bearable to work under the sun.

On the street or highway of Dubai, it is feel like you are in the United States. I saw a Ford MUSTANG GT and HUMMER H4 zoom pass by. These are American muscle and favourites automobiles. The sound of MUSTANG GT are sweet, when you hear it you know it can smoke Ferrari's or Japanese sport tuner - piece of cake. The average automobiles I have seen on Dubai road are mainly luxury vehicle eg. Audi A8, Porsche Cayenna, Toyota Prado, Chrysler Dodge Sebring etc and so on, to many to listed here. Mostly are 2.5 litre and above vehicle.

I have been to the site today. It is quite messy there and most work are hanging or did half way. Several measurement need to be taken down to adjust some run. The site are called Dubai Festival City's Harbour Plaza. It is a 5 star rated contstuction project. Situated just beside Dubai Creek and the view from the site's 16th floor was breathtaking. I can see Dubai International Airport on the northern part of the building and Dubai Creek, Bur Dubai can bee seen on the southern part of the building.

My dinner was a simple one. I bought a Chicken MrTadla Black Papper salami and Shawarma Bread from the supermarket. Both the salami and bread is nice. I will try out other recipe tomorrow, maybe try to add some arabian cheese on top of the salami.

Some of my friend said: "Wah! So nice can go Dubai..." Yeah Dubai is indeed a very nice metropolitan but the objectives that count. If you go there for vacation, it is definately a place to be there. Working there is another different story.

That's all for today... =)
