Scenes from my desk

By alaistairsdesk

Its not that big when you get up close!

Backblipped yesterday

Long lie (well not really as we are 3 hours ahead)! and did a bit of work!

Went over to the exhibition centre and got our stand set up. Only took 90 mins, we're getting slick at this.

We then headed to the Dubai Mall, the world's biggest shopping mall. Not my scene really! they had a "Designer alley" of silly shops. Looked in one mens outfitters - £1000 for a pair of shoes...no thanks.

Its just next to the Burj Khalifa. I blipped the Burj last time, but this time we got up close.

But its still under construction (even though they had an extravagent openning party!).

Then headed to one of the "Markets"...great fun....lots of traders..."Come see...I have Genuine fake for you....Good price...I do you good price....".

And the fakes were pretty genuine. For a laugh, I got myself a Breitling Watch for £30 (instead of £3000). And I did hagglew the guy down to half his starting price.

Got back to the hotel, and there was a note under my door. They apologised, and let me know my Gold Card had expired! And they had regregistered me on their card scheme at "Preferred Partner" level. Thankfully, they didn't chuck my luggage out the room!
