Back from Dubai. Abit of jet lag as it is 4 hours behind us. And somemore alot of office work to clear.
Flight was delayed due to Oman storm so had to deroute. That took additional 1 and a half hours so total abt 9 hours. Reached around 2am. Immigration officer gave me strange looks. And when i reached hotel, noticed the night club at upper sty.... yes! there is a night club in the hotel.... turned the whole place so sleazy... Locals in white robes, their national dress. Russian woman sexily dressed. I guess some of the guys were drunk too.
Anyway i was scared out of my wits... and i had to go to my room alone. And guess what, the second lock in my room wasnt working. The door is only secured by a normal lock and a chain lock. So i started imaging that someone might come in the middle of the night... it was already dead in the night.... to cut off the flimsy chain and do something. So how ingenious i am! I pushed the coffee table and arm chair to "block" the door. At least if someone tries to come in, it would give me some warning first.
Caught some sleep (2 hrs) cos too tired. Day time was not too bad. At least more "normal". Went for site inspection. Drive through whole city of Dubai including the famous seven star hotel.. but didnt managed to go in of course. Also had Arab food for lunch. Courtesy of Admin Mgr.
At night got treated to a very sumptuous dinner at Hyatt hotel by GM, Persian food. Not bad too, similar to Arab food but very very full. After dinner, proceeded to a lounge. Ordered hot tea... haha... cos i was too cold. They made special arrangements for my hot drink cos they never had such funny request before. The SM and my colleague asked if i wanted some wine. I think better not. I am in foreign land!!
And i want to add, the temperaure is crazy. 40 degrees... i cannot believe i actually survived.
