Last Night!

Well, its my last night here in Dubai! All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go. I'm sitting here inside my door... haha.

Its been a great experience coming to the Middle East - it has definitely expanded my understanding of this part of the world (at least, as much as the artificial nature of Dubai can expand understanding of the Middle East... its not exactly a great example of the rest of the region I don't think). I'm sad to leave but I'm ready to go. In the last 8 days we have gotten a lot done: We

1.) Went on a tour of Old Dubai and shopped at the spice and textile markets;
2.) Went and had drinks at the Burj al Arab
3.) Went into the desert, rode a camel, and watched a flaming man dance like a spinning top
4.) Ate dinner at the new Atlantis Hotel on the Palm Jumeirah
5.) Drank plenty of wine with our new friends here in Dubai
6.) Stayed in one of the top hotel resorts in the city, and had an excellent view of the city and the sea
7.) Swam in the Arabian Gulf
8.) Saw the Mall of the Emirates and SkiDubai
9.) Oh, and we loaded in, produced, executed, and loaded-out a show for 550 people.

All in all, I'd say my experience in Dubai has been pretty fulfilling... What do you think?
