DUBAI

[Myealexis21]

^^Sis I'm so bad with bus routes but you can check that out sa rta... or even google maps gives you an option if you go by car or bus/metro. 

Don't expect so much sa miracle garden yung mga flowers are ordinary ones lang, ang nice is yung mga structures, pero mabilis lang malibot sya kase di naman ganon kalaki yung place. 

^Sis Tin, I've never been to Global village these past few years.  Kaya wala na akong alam how much ang entrance.  I was actually hoping back sa mga paninda na for that specific country talaga, kaso halo halo lang din hehe! I remember going to Thailand, Malaysia and some other Far East countries' section -- same same lang products LOL! I just don't know kung may improvements na sya ngayon.  Nice dito if natimingan mo yung parade, I love yung mga costumes and dances and most of the evening dun na kami tumambay sa games-ala-perya And nice din pala picture taking sa mga gates / main doors ng bawat country

hi mga sisses.. we went to Global Village nung december 1.. 15AED ang entrance fee per head.. then ang mahal ng taxi papunta dun.. From Atlantis Hotel to Global Village, inabot kami ng 65AED one way..

thanks simplykristine08 and Myealexis21

i actually miss my car whenever I need to commute! haha! iba talaga kapag may transpo ka.. anyway nakalimutan ko pa intl driving license ko so kahit may car wala din.

^15? intrigued lang ako sa mga countries e. hehe. ano pa magagawa dun??

just finished an Arabian Food Pilgrimage via Frying Pan Adventures. Do this if you have extra money and want to taste authentic dishes from Lebanese, Palestinian, Iranian, Egyptian, Iraqi, Syrian and history of it. Did this as I am not really into eating foods which I don't know. But in this tour you get to just taste it, experience it along with other people ofcourse.

^ i think sis di allowed ang international license natin dito. correct me if i'm wrong. there's a small resto sa may jumeirah na super sarap ng grilled chicken and hummous. malapit to sa isdaan na sikat din dito

[Myealexis21]

^Sis Tin not sure about that... but I know that some rent-a-car companies does not allow IDL (International Driving License), sabi naman nung iba kelangan kumuha pa ng permit sa RTA, plus may restrictions din which cars you drive ie rental cars only and not private owned vehicles.  Basta nakakalito ang rules hehe!

Hindi mo na magagamit ang IDL once you are issued a residence visa, pero kapag tourist ata pwede pa yun. 

Sa mga galing sa GCC countries with Residence Visa from that country, yung DL nila pwede gamitin. 

[simplykristine08]

^ ah okay, akala ko naman not allowed. sa dame ng rules dito, hindi na alam kung ano ang susundin, ano?

btw, sis glacy, yung sinasabi ko sayong resto ng grilled chicken, okay dayuhin yun. kasi nakita ko sila gelli de belen, arnel (comedian) na dumayo doon

[glacy_rein]

^sabe ng relative ko pwede daw. anyway hindi ko naman nadala. haha! (testing hahaha!)

Sis sa Jumeirah Road...near ba yan ng mosque na medyo malapit din sa Jumeirah Beach Hotel?

[simplykristine08]

^ yes, sis! natry mo na dun? CHALET ang name! sa wakas, naalala ko din. nakalimutan ko lang ang name ng seafood resto sa may likod noon. pero, super yummy! dinadayo ng mga puti!

[Myealexis21]

^Yes Sis... malapit lang kase sa Jumeirah Beach Hotel.  When I was still working there pumupunta kami dun, even nung hindi na ako nagwowork sa JBH, kase masarap talaga yung food at mura pa.  Maganda punta dun now kase malamig pwede na sa labas umupo.  I love their grilled fish din. And yes Hummous sarap din dun! Ayan nagutom na tuloy ako...

Hay Sis gutom na talaga akooo!! LOL!

Hindi naman sis..more or less 70AED ang taxi mo if sa Atlantis Hotel ka galing ha.. medyo malayo kasi sya.. parang SCTEX nga ang peg ng daan papunta dun...

meron din dun boat riding na parang sa Venice Italy.. 

[glacy_rein]

^pagbalik ko nalang gagawin sis! haha!

kakatapos ko lang mag Desert Safari today! 

details: booked with FunTours due to high positive feedback from TA. Mas makakamura din sana ako if nakuha ko yung deal na dubai city tour and desert safari kaso min of 2pax yung promo, eh solo ako. So ito nalang kinuha ko.

Comparing it to other tours wala lang yung sand boarding (pero pwede irequest) and mura na sya talaga. Puno ang camp (due to other tour companies) and super lamigggg! brrrr. hindi lang namen nagawa yung sheesha and abaya fitting kasi ang daming tao! haha! and yeah i joined with 2 ladies from Germany in which may onting "language barrier" hehe. Pero i enjoyed it esp. the dune bashing and camel ride! (nakakaloka ang camel ride! )

still thinking about the half day city tour, then tom morning hopefully magawa ko na Miracle Garden before going to shopping spree for gifts.

Mga sis, I have a problem. Sana may makatulong.

I have a business trip kasi sa Dubai, so my company is processing my visa.  My sis naman is joining me along with my biz trip.  Problem is she is going to use her miles points not from Emirates but from another airline. Tapos yung hotel naman nai-istay-an ko is not processing visas.

So how can my sis process her visa.  By the way I am not based in Manila, my sis is.  Dun lang kami magm-meet.
