let me c....... this rectangular room measures about... errrrrr........ 3m by 4m..... not the largest room in the world, but it will have to do....... and the "ensuite" is one corner of the room that as been cordoned off...... thats not too shabby either, its decent.... just a tad on the small side. its 90 pounds a week, so i cant complain. |

Trafalgar square, 10 Downing street, Leicester Square, Covent Garden, Trocadero, the Mall, Big Ben, The British Airways London Eye (!), The Millennium Bridge, Tate Museum..... errr....... and China Town, Soho and a few more places. Fantastic day out! :D Made a train buddy that was accused by some teenage girls of being from Blazin Squad.... Had a short chat with him and asked him if he was from Blazin Squad and he obviously wasnt.... anyway to simplify things.... it obviously came up that I was from Dubai and then he asked how I knew who Blazing Squad were. hahahahaha.... i laughed and sed that we do have radios and music shops in Dubai aswell. Quite funny........ cleared up about 10 other misconceptions aswell...... another biggie was the fact that Dubai was part of a country and not some independent state. quite good to know that i am helping to clean up Dubai's image. :) |
