Dubai Ice Rink
----------------------------------------
Toe-pick! :D
The Dubai Mall
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
8 March 2016
----------------------------------------
Accurate details can be found in Dubai Ice Rink official website.
The gist:
(1) Entrance fee will vary depending on what time you want to skate.
(2) It can get crowded, so I suggest you go there before everybody else does.
(3) Elevation Burger. Yum.
Going to Dubai Mall is pretty straight forward. Hop on a red-line train (don't forget your NOL Card!) bound for UAE Exchange Station; get off Dubai Mall/Burj Khalifa Platform, walk 10 minutes towards the mall and walk another 10 minutes towards the Ice Rink.
You have the option of pre-booking online via its official website. Skating schedules are also posted there, so you'll know what to expect ahead of time.
The usual public session for adults is 60 AED; however, if you arrive at a different time, prices may vary between 80 to 100 AED/adult. Aside for that, you'll have to shell-out an additional 20 AED for locker use, but you can refund it right after your session though. :)
They also offer lessons for a fee, depending on availability; otherwise, you can just ask the instructors for skating tips while you glide around on your own.
For the foodies: Elevation Burger is a burger joint that is located right above Dubai Ice Rink. Prices are Dubai-standard (haha) for fast-food, so it's neither that expensive nor cheap.
So there ya go. :)

Global Village, Dubailand

Around The World in Three Friggin Hours

Merry Christmas!
It's one of those unplanned-trip things. Well... what do you expect from an expat living in Dubai without my family in-sight? And it's Christmas, nonetheless! I'm just lucky, Dubai is very open when it comes to other religions. It is still predominantly Islam, but the place has certainly embraced its status as an international hub.
The Global Village is, most definitely, a testament to that.

Abu Dhabi Escapade
-----------------------------------------
I swear, you cannot NOT go there
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
3 to 4 December 2015
----------------------------------------
It's a pre-birthday thing: go to Abu Dhabi because I'm nearing my first year in the UAE yet I haven't actually been outside of Dubai; and, well, just because I CAN. :D
