While walking over to the Dubai Mall, the architecture, lines and diverse materials of the metro station really caught my eye - as witnessed by my photo.

15 After availing myself of one of the least knowledgeable cab drivers ... EVER, in trying to track down a bottlo or take away beers, without any success I might add, I settled for a pint from my hotels bar.
A pint (500 ml) of -1 degree chill ran 45 dirhams or $16.71 AUD / $12.24 USD. I think the term I uttered was "floss me freckle and farq me swinging" or words to that effect.
Might have to switch to either White Russians or Long Island Ice Tea as they are a steal at 39 dirhams or $14.49 AUD / $10.61 each.
16 After 10 days of tngine's & cous cous, some wings and pizza was jut the thing I needed.

19 Fitzy's Life Lesson # 238 v76a & b:
A: I'm never paying anyone $6.50 USD to wash a single pair of me "Reg Grundy's" (undies - underpants) as all undies have two sides you know.
B: If the attending female assistant inquires about "what size" when seeking replacement undies at the Calvin Klein store in the Dubai Mall ..... apparently "depends on hand size" is not the correct response.
