went up the burj khalifa for the mandatory photo op from the world's tallest building! doesn't christie look like she's on top of the world? (see the skinny jeans reflection on her left? that's me!)
and after that, it was back down to earth and underwater at the dubai mall. here we are getting friendly with some sand tiger sharks ;)
dubai was a whirlwind! never a dull moment and so many things to see :) it's only bearable in winter though. wouldn't go near the desert with a ten foot pole any time after mid-jan. dubai baffles me. for one, it's very green for a desert. thankful to have made a few friends there over the years and can hustle my way to the best chicken rice and satay in the middle east, a necessary skill / evil (?) after i've had so much lebanese food it's coming out of my ears...
oh and dubai mall is quite fantastical. everything a girl could want under one roof. there's bloomingdales (I LOVE BROWN BAGS!) and with bloomingdales comes magnolia bakery. there's cacao sampaka (!) and laduree (!!) and fauchon (!!!) along with the usual suspects that make my heart race. blew a bundle and am all kitted out for work. or so i like to think. how luxurious that my current biggest work-related problem is what to wear :D
done with the dubai posts. stay tuned from news from kuala lumpur after my weekend there.
