Day 4 of our Honeymoon in Dubai, we just wanted to relax. Its February the 14th, meaning we got to celebrate Valentines Day in Dubai!!! Incidentally the 15th of February is also a huge public holiday in Dubai, the Birthdate of Prophet Mohammad. The local restaurants and bar refers to such holidays as a dry night. I didn't get what dry night means when doing dinner bookings until one of the waitress explained that on Islamic Holidays, restaurant and bars will not serve alcoholic drinks to patrons in respect to the Islamic Holiday. I figured it doesn't matter as long as they still provide water.
In the morning we just relaxed in The Palace's outdoor dinning area for breakfast.
We met at least 3 Indonesian staff in the Hotel. I managed to chat with them a little and asked if they liked working in Dubai. Although they said the pay is just enough for living expenses, I'm sure they each manage to save up enough money for their families back home. The working conditions here are much better than working back home. Plus they get annual leave to go back to their home countries and the air tickets are most probably paid for by their employers.

We headed to the Mall of Dubai after breakfast. The short stroll to the mall was so enjoyable and memorable. I wouldn't mind walking pass the Burj of Khalifa and the Dubai fountain every morning. What a sight!!!

| The Burj of Khalifa |
We wanted to try getting into the Burj of Khalifa, but it turns out that tickets to the Burj is sold out for the next 3 days. We could have bought the more expensive express tickets that allows us to enter the Burj whenever we want, but we didn't think it was worth it. We'll leave it for next time, Dubai is on our list of places to revisit in the near future.

| Candies, lots of candies |
Although the goods in Dubai are tax free, we didn't shop for any clothes or fashion items. We got like lots and lots of chocolates and candies to give out to our friends and families back in Indonesia.

| The wife's favourite part of the mall is the Gold Souk. |

| I got her to pose and take a lot of pictures so that she won't spend to much time in the jewellery stores |
