Trip to UAE.. part 1

Lots of stuff to write, but ... lets stick with pictures and for pictures, only too some for my very first business trip. Flew to Dubai, UAE on sat afternoon 12 Jul and landed there 7 plus hours later at 1830 UAE time. UAE is 4 hours behind Singapore and thus it was 8.30pm Singapore time when i touched down at Dubai.

After landing, went out and the first thing to strike me was the simmering heat..Was wearing my suit (which has a story that calls for another blog entry.. maybe next time ba), and the heat really hit me, especially after spending over 10 hours in the aircon. About 41 degrees during that time.. and they say Singapore is hot. =P

Went to take the official airport taxi after spotting lots of touts outside the airport. And it is about 120km journey to Abu Dhabi. Literally watched sunset in the taxi.


Some shots taken in the cab... and by the time i reached the hotel and settled down, it was about midnight Singapore time.


to be continued..... =P
