‘Hanging out with him is like hanging out with myself.’ Perhaps a strange way to measure the quality of company of your very bestest friend but it works for me. There is a long weekend here in Dubai and me and Jeffrey have a long day planned ahead. He is mostly Swedish but half Peruvian. His new beard is giving girls even more to look at. We have breakfast at Shakespeare at the Marina Mall.
I love Shakespeare – both the writer and the cafe chain with it’s old English look. I think this one at the Marina has the funkiest colours. Love that.
True to today’s modern man, Jeffrey is a complete metrosexual. He is a permanent fixture in my pool, I have banned him using my online-ordered-paid-arm-and-a-leg-for shampoo & conditioner (which I have introduced to him as ‘Do Not Touch 1’ and ‘Do Not Touch 2’). He is now buying his own.
Our next stop is Dragon Mart – one of my favorite places in Dubai. It is a mini-China but a maxi-mall! I love going there alone with the songs on my iPod keeping me company. Today Jeffrey is with me. He has designed pretty much most of my apartment and he is the one-man committee that has to approve any changes in my pad.
I am reminded again that with Dragon Mart just buying this stuff is not enough and have to also arrange for transportation as well as a Mr. Fix-it who also needs to bring his own glue. So this will cost me peanuts plus bit of effort. All done within a few minutes. I am complimented for my negotiation skills by Jeffrey. The shop-owner, on the other hand, remains mute.
This will be covering parts of my walls next week. My idea and Jeffrey had to admit it is a good one. Ha!
Virginity soap?? Love this place!
Size does matter!
Too sexy!
A Snow White creation??
Padded panties anyone??
Bike for AED 350 – he was tempted for a tiny second 🙂
Quick snooze on the beach followed by food at Bosporus the new Turkish Restaurant on the Beach Road: durum doner, fresh brewed tea and Uludag, the Turkish version of Sprite which was born years before Sprite even had a single bubble. My tummy has remained the most faithful to my Turkish roots compared to the rest.
Perfect day!
