I'll write a more elaborate post about the fantastic evening I had in Dubai tonight (meeting new friends, dancing to reggae and salsa at a old dive bar, driving through crazy traffic and shopping like a mad woman).
This post is about my really great hotel bathroom. =) It's modern, black granite, with a rubber ducky sitting on the side of the tub. I came home totally exhausted after four hours of dancing in heels and I decided to have a bath! I haven't had a bath in years and frankly, I've always disliked them because I get really bored! Well, this bathtub was inviting. I lit the floating candles, dumped the entire jar of bath salts and turned off all the lights. I ran hot water and just reeeelaxed! It was SO nice. I love this alone time. After a crazy night out socializing with some really great new friends (who I only just met today!), it's so nice to be able to come back to my own room and have this time to myself. I took a shower in candlelight as well and it was such a nice experience. I'm going to make it a real point to use candles more often when I'm at home. Candlelight is gorgeous.
Anyway, tonight was SO MUCH FUN. I haven't danced like that and sweated like that in a very long time! It's hot and humid here in Dubai but I've met some really great new people. S, C, K and R! R is a DJ and will be taking me out again sometime in the next week. K is starting his own media business and is a super interesting person – we're planning to meet up again tomorrow. Dubai is very similar to London in that it is FULL of expats. I love London because you get to meet people from every corner of the planet. I feel like Dubai is very very similar!! =)
Tomorrow, I am going to try and see the Burj Arab Hotel. Locals hate it. Tourists want to see why.
