DUBAI_ FDI 2007

October 2007....My dentist friend Quan, and i decided to go to Dubai for 5 days FDI. It's much anticipated as Dubai was red hot on tourist number 1 list. That was my thought of it. Especially been following tennis tournaments, and Federer has been winning there. The photos of Burj Al Arab was so appealing. An icon for the new millenium.

They were building the world tallest skyscraper, and we were fortunate to also booked a hotel next to it. Our hotel was SofiutelThe Old Palace, and it was located in the Old City. however apparently it was only completed in July. Swimming in evening and seeing Burj Dubai above was a nice view. The foods served at breakfast was nice and we met a Vietnamese girl name Ngoc. She's there for 2 yrs.

Over the pics u can also see the pic at the Gold Souk. Apparently Gold is cheaper in Dubai.

Over in Dubai, we met up with Kathy and Barnard and Aniket and Shuvra.
