It's my Third year in Dubai.... and I've already visited most malls, went to most of the parks, eaten at most of the restaurants, went barbeque along sea side,even been to " The BURJ AL ARAB !".... That's all you can do in Dubai! .... I remember living in Mumbai when there was so little time after work and studies...but the place is still unexplored even after 25 years of growing up there.... Well, that's the difference between an old historic city and a new artificial one.... Yes, artificial!... I can say it without any reservations.... Dubai has some of the most sophisticated building structures, greatest malls and most luxurious hotels but it lacks the soul!.. I'm just sick living in the A/C 24 hours per day and not being able to breath some clean fresh air.. This does affect me...! It's between 38 and 40 degrees in the shade here and there's so much humidity in the air that you never see the sky... You can barely distinguish where the sun is at noon... Going out of a building to get a taxi will make you sweat like a dog... let alone walking a few buildings to reach supermarket....! I'm looking forward to going back to Mumbai in a few months..... It may not be that idealistic place one would dream to live in.... but at least you can sleep with the windows open at night!!!
