In Dubai, we went on one of the Big Bus Tours, very interesting, but keep your camera ready. Didn't get to take a photo of the garden that was a clock. At The Top, Burj Khalifa was fantastic! I was very brave and nearly went right to the edge - 123 floors up ! Very hazy though. Walked along the Creek and through the old town and the old souks. Did a bit of haggling over a dancing belt, couldn't agree on a cheap enough price, so walked out. We were followed out by the young man there who continued to try to make a deal. He came down to a price we would pay, with Lucas double checking him, before they went back to make the sale. The main guy was very cranky, telling Lucas that he was Russian for changing his price, but he snatched the money and threw the goods on the floor, while abusing him in Arabic! Quite a crowd had gathered and started following Lucas out. When he caught up with me he was walking very fast and muttering keep walking, keep walking. He envisaged several arabs after us with curved scimitars!!
Paris today.
Mmm yes I should of told you about the haggling and how they can get quite affended if you go to far and u did the right thing get out asap, still wish I was a fly on the wall to see Lucas face .hope you have better luck in Paris x
