48 hours in Dubai

Before going to India I passed by Dubai to visit my sister. That was my main purpose, yet I had a couple of friends I saw there as well and made some new ones!!

The city is quite interesting honestly, yet it's too artificial in a way. I mean like it's a country that was recently built. Everything seems brand new or very well maintained. You almost can't find any signs of history in Dubai.

It's like an international hub where you can find a lot of nationalities. Even the people who sell in shops, are not locals. They are mainly from Asia. It was quite frustrating for me to be in an Arab country and actually have to speak english to buy something.

It's a very nice city to be in if you like everything organized and clean. Dubai is very well maintained and even still growing. You need to have a really go salary if you will ever live in Dubai!!

Overall it was a great trip!! I got to see my sister and her kids, I met some close friends, saw new places and prepared myself for India. I only thought I was prepared!!! :D

Begining my Blog!!

Ladies and gentlemen!! Welcome to my blog :)

This my first post, obviously :P I've made this blog a long time ago but I didn't have the chance or the will to actually start writing.

The purpose of my blog is to document my journey to India. I'm here for one whole year so I guess I'll have a lot of material.

Just a piece of information about me before you actually start reading. I'm quite critical at times and all the times sarcastic. So please excuse my sarcasm that you might find every now and then. I'll say nothing but the truth though :D

Welcome again and I hope you find my blog entertaining and hopefully one day beneficial :)
