Weather in Dubai

Have you ever wanted to strangle someone when it's hot out? The heat cooks your brain, raises your blood pressure... and actually makes you more murderous (http://tinyurl.com/nkedjs3). Luckily it's past midnight here and a cool 91 degrees F ;)

What's most interesting about Dubai's weather and scenery is that you're able to get a little bit of everything: hot sand, lush greens, sparkling seas, frigid snow. In California you can see the same, but in different cities (e.g. San Bernardino vs Santa Monica vs Yosemite).

Yes, I recognize that a ski resort in the middle of the desert isn't biologically natural, but the snow inside the resort is 100% real, made via snow machines. There's also snowmen and snowballs and colorful lights! What's not to love?

 Ecological footprint? What's that?

Dubai Marina is truly a sight to behold; I would compare it to my bf's eyes but that would be unfair to my bf. It almost feels like I'm back in Silicon Beach... without the litter, marijuana and dreadlocks.

We ought to be going out more this weekend and during that time I'll take more pictures so you can get a better, personalized feel for the place. Is there anything or anywhere in particular you'd like to see? Any suggestions for my next post? Please share in the comments below! :)
