Blog… COMMENCE!!!

I came back from Dubai yesterday. Arrived at 2 in the morning with AirArabia and got home at 3:30 am. Then I slept until one.

Dubai

I saw the Burj al Arab, but didn’t stay there. I also went to a shopping mall where they had a ski slope inside. Yes, the temperature was -3 (Celsius, sorry Americans :D) in the ski area. Even though it was winter, outside was extremely hot. Waste of energy anyone?

Dubai has cranes everywhere. It’s expanding really fast and has malls less than a kilometer apart from each other all over the place. I stayed in Sharjah, at the Embassy Suites hotel. Sharjah is a few minutes from Dubai. I celebrated new years in dubai though.

I bet none of you know how many American shops there are. I try to list some of the food places first. They had:

-Starbucks

-McDonalds

-Burger King

-Subways

-KFC

-Chili’s

-Dunkin’ Donuts

-TGI Fridays

-Popeye’s

And I’m just warming up….

They also had loads of American shops too, like FootLocker for example. Globalization at its best.

I also was lucky enough to see an old friend (who I hadn’t seen in over 5 years). He lives in walking distance from the tallest building in the world (which is in Dubai, yes). I even drove past the tallest building (I was right next to it). It basically dwarfs the other buildings out. Buildings that you would think are tall seem like little flats next to it. I could even see the building while I was eating dinner with my friend.

I will put up photos in my next blog.

Sprites

I did these a while before I left. I know that aren’t great. They’re not even close to being ok. I would like to hear some feedback, though, and maybe ways to improve them. I would really appreciate that.

The only thing I think I didn't screw up was the proportions and line art. I know, my shading sucks.

I'll finish off this blog the traditional way, by asking questions.

1. Have any of you been to Dubai? The Arabian gulf? The middle-east? Or even close to the middle east?

2. Will you forgive me? I know my blog has lots of grammar and spelling mistakes, but like I said in the first paragraph, I arrived home at three-thirty. And am I tired…

3. Why does everyone use tags now in their blogs? Could it be a turn off for reading the blog to see the tag of someone you don't like? I bet you would get more hits if you didn't use tags.
