Movin' on!

Alright, alright, alright, our last day in Dubai! Some of you sharpeyed readers might have spotted that I have not written any articles yet, even though we have quite a few of them. We thought that we could just use Sondre's account, but it dawned upon us that I might get IV. So "Mr.Englishteacher" (or Sir Dadalife,  which is our epic nickname for you) Sondre and I have collaborated on some of the articles because my account sort of found it funny to take a vacation, or to dysfunction. Something like that.

The first skeem for the day came together during last night's dinner, in which I ate way too much and Sondre got drunk. The hangover fanboy wanted me to do a little recap of what actually went down yesterday, so here it is! Our day yesterday.

Yesterday we went to a fine restaurant, and we were absolutely amazed. Not only by the stunning setting, the service and the food, but amazed by the people aswell. In Dubai, the main religion is Islam. We have a feeling that in the "western" part of the world this religion has somewhat of a dodgy reputation, and boy were we amazed!

Norwegian citizens has famously an intimate zone of half a mile, but here people everywhere are beiing kind and gentile, talking to eachother, helping people carry their stuff up and down the stairs and old people allways gets a seat from younger generations on the bus etc... We already knew that people with Islam as their main religion is nice, but the kindness and compassion that this religion learns to everyone here, completely blew us away.

The same thing applied in the fine restaurant we went to. The locals were dressed in religious robes of silk, decorated down to the slightest, finest detail. We were almost ashamed to be European because of a huge ensemble of loud, rude and crude people that were eating as pigs not far away from us.

To our delight, our waiter could inform us they were Americans. Our waiter was a very nice man who served my friend (Sondre, that is) a bit too much booze. I was offered some aswell, but had just consumed our huge dish of khuzi and humus, and felt like I could roll home, like a ball. We must have made quite a spectacle as we headed for the door.

Right now we are headed for the airport in a couple of hours, but we had to check out some cultural places, like old Dubai! According to one of the taxidrivers, old Dubai is like travelling back in time. Rumor has it that  the old fishermen lived and died all inside this same tiny town. Other than that we sure will drop by Burger King heading for the airport. We didn't trust the dead thing we got served for lunch.
