Our Hotel Room

We have a really nice room here in Dubai, the spread at breakfast is quite something.  Everything from American food to middle eastern food and a few other nationalities in between.  They have a really amazing omlet bar and their eggs have a very bright salmon colored yolk.  The amount of fresh fruit is unbelieveable and the different types of breads and pastries is insane.  I definetely think I have put on a few pounds here.  It will be quite the transition going from one of the most luxurious places on the planet to the third world country of Ethiopia.  The amount of money here is rediculous...almost every car you see is a luxury car.  Most of the people you meet are friendly, I should say mostly the people working in the hospitality/service area are friendly.   There is definetely a lot of people who look at you with very evil looks, I mean don't even try to smile at them, they will look back at you with such hatred.  I have never experienced anything like it.  But all in all you feel extreamly safe here and very welcome.  We have only seen 1 police car driving around and not a single police man walking around.   They place feels peaceful and it is rather quiet for the amount of people around. 

There are some very exotic smells also and a rich aroma every place you go.  It is so distinct I feel like I will remember it forever.
