A quick recap of Dubai’s short trip

I’ve been away during last weekend, we all thought being away from all the spray mayhem would make our lives better so we frantically looked for tickets and hotel reservations and 7amdella we got both like a day before! Salheya World Travels made our lives a living hell and Danata people are so professional and organized! I just love them.

Tell you the truth, my second visit to Dubai was an eye opening experience and now I am looking for a job there! I just love the “easy” life style and people mind their own business… It’s so simple! So, here is our trip by pics..

Dubai's airport

People waiting for their plane I guess – that was when we arrived at 1 am !

    دبي فيها خمر و فصعات و بارعات و انتي رحتي هناك؟؟

    أمبيه

    يالله روحي العمرة يا بنية و كفري عن سيئاتك و الا حجابك طار في الهوا شاشي و انت ما تدراشي. يا جدع!

    أمبيه

    Thanks ShoSho, I missed you lady!

    o enta wella enty ya hey! يعني الكويت مافيها فصعات ولا شرب و لا مسخرة بالخشاشي!

    I’ll leave omrah to you sweetie, maybe it would fix your thinking abit .. ya “q”ada3 !

  4. Sheesh Says:

    I’ll have to give to you lady; handling the impossible divide between East and West. I mean, how do you jam to techno and house with a hijab on? Is it even possible?

    You’re a trooper girl, and I wish you all the best :)

    Your finest (male) tease :p

  5. Chikapappi Says:

    “Finest” I doubt! سبحان مغير الأحوال :$ Jamming and “Dubai-ing” in your own conventional sense of the word with all the bad meanings you are trying to associate applies only to those desperate people who go out of Kuwait to party like animals – you seem to confuse being a “moderate” muslim – Hejabi girl with someone who is trying her best to just push her way out of it and that’s not me. Hejab or even not having it on doesn’t erase your personality and fun in clean forms is do-able no! Division between East and West as you called it has nothing to do with religion, it’s a personal preference man. Things you like within normal social boundaries..

    eh!

  6. grey Says:

    Awesome pics Chickster ! Specially the ‘Dubai Sand’ one..

  7. KJ Says:

    hahahahha

  8. Chikapappi Says:

    I wish! you see, as mr. sheesh mentioned up there – hejab ye6eer fel hawa shaashy men el dune tumbling so that I didn’t do :/

  9. neoark Says:

    WELCOME BACK!!

    glad u had fun, lol russians

    in sovet russia sheesha smokes you!

  10. Chikapappi Says:

    how?!

  11. neoark Says:

    it’s a joke..

    =========
    Russian reversal or “In Soviet Russia” is a type of joke originated by Arte Johnson[citation needed] on Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In, and popularized by Smirnoff, and is an example of antimetabole. The general form of the “In Soviet Russia” joke is that the subject and objects of a statement are reversed, and “In (Soviet) Russia”, or something equivalent, is added. For example:

    In America, you catch a cold.
    In Russia, cold catches you!

    In America, you can always find a party.
    In Russia, The Party can always find you!

  12. Maze Says:

    Dubai is fun..i love it too…and wagamama is so normal nothing exciting about that place…when i was there i nearly broke my tooth coz of a tiny bone in the food

  13. Chikapappi Says:

    enno we paid kteer o el akel average you know. The noodles were ok as well as the steak on it bas the rest complained from the food, especially those that come in the big bowl with huge soup spoons!

  14. neoark Says:

    i respect UAE, might live there

  15. Mathai Says:

    Welcome back to Kuwait Chika ! The desert safari is awesome! next time I’m gonna go all the way to Hatta and Jebel Hafeet.

  16. Mira Says:

    Chikkkaa Nooo.. You came and ma shfaaitch :(
    But I am glad you had fun, Inshalla next trip I see you :D

  17. Chikapappi Says:

    next trip enshallah I will make sure that we contact each other and we meet :)

  18. Sou Says:

    I was there last weekend, and I stayed at the Crowne Plaza: DCF. It was absolutely amazing! It was my first visit to Dubai, and I cried at Passport Control there on my way back to Kuwait. I didn’t want to come back home, and I don’t blame you for wanting to get a job there. Sucks that they’re going through a recession, no? :(

    But seriously, I did cry at Passport Control. *sigh*

  19. Chikapappi Says:

    We had a rough time coming back and I am still in the “Dubai” mood – you know when you just leave the hotel and go walking in the street and grab a cab .. ahh it’s beautiful!

  20. Sou Says:

    I know, I know! *sigh* Ouff, it’s been EXACTLY a week to the second since I’ve been back. Oh how I miss Dubai…

  21. This Lady Says:

    haha that last pic is priceless!
