It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”
― Ernest Hemingway
If you want to have a good idea of life in a foreign country and see a cross section of that country's society in one place, go to the local marketplace or the mall. So we went to the Dubai Mall, the world's biggest!!

| The Burj al Khalifa as seen from the Dubai Mall |
 |
| Dubai is full of interesting, cutting edge architecture |
 |
| A bridge over a canal connecting two parts of the mall |
 |
| Relaxing after a day at the mall |
 |
| The local Emirati during a busy weekday(their weekend is Friday and Saturday) |
 |
| Dubai is the most liberal and relaxed of the Emirates if not the whole Arab world; however, one must respect the culture and religion of Dubai. Women must not wear short skirts or shorts or show bear shoulders in public. You must not be affectionate with your wife or girlfriend in public either! |
