1st Honeymoon: Day 1 (Madinat Jemeirah)

From our hotel at the Mall of Emirates, we took a cab to the Madinat Jemeirah. Its a beach resort at the Jemeirah Beach, Agnes did some research and wanted to have lunch at a scenic restaurant there.

Arabian Style indoor market
Arabian Styled Ceilings
Arabian styled shop houses and streets
See everything so Arabic like then can feel like we are really in the middle east. We didn't really get this feeling in the Mall earlier.
The buildings remind me of a map in counterstrike, De Dust
This looks like where the terrorist team have to place the bomb to win
Careful there might be snipers at the top of the buildings
Ok I admit I might have been playing too much games.

We wanted to go on a river cruise but the next trip is in 2 hours

Is there a genie in the tea pot?

Behind us is the Burj of Arab

In front of the Madinat Jemeirah Hotel
Hotel security in Dubai are quite tight, they won't let you into the hotel premises unless you're living in the said hotel or have made a reservation in one of the hotel's restaurants. But then the security guards very easy to cheat, we just tell them that we're living in the hotel if we want to check out the interior of the hotel and most of the time they'll just let us through.
The interior of the Madinat Jemeirah Hotel, this is a very pricy one
We head down to the beach to have lunch at a restaurant which is located on the Pier. Its called Pier Chick.

By this point we realised that we were in wrong attire for the beach, although the wind was still chilly
The Burj of Arab, which is on an island of its own
The Burj of Arab is the second tallest building, it is also the only 7 Star Hotel in the world. Can't afford to stay here one. We can't get entry into the place unless we're staying there or we booked lunch in the underwater restaurant, can't afford also. It's so expensive because everything in the hotel is Gold plated. Even the toilet bowl also gold plated. Toilet bowl is toilet bowl lah why must put gold, is it if sit on gold for long time will make backside smooth or maybe must sit on gold to sh*t gold.

We then went for lunch where we ordered a huge seafood platter for two
