دبيّ, Dubai / wednesday / 1300
i'm sitting in a hotel room that's bigger than my home back in london, just having some breakfast after doing a press conference. we're three hours ahead of uk time. i'm not sure where to begin, but i've taken a ton of pics, so maybe i should let them do the talking. i've never been anywhere that feels this hot - it's 38 degrees C, having fallen to 32 overnight, apparently, and it's so humid that when i took my camera outside it just completely steamed up. tom took his computer out onto his balcony and it it did the same... sunglasses do the same... i can see people outside digging the foundations for another enormous building, and i honestly don't know how they can do it. put it this way - they cool the swimming pool here instead of heating it...
i'm really looking forward to the show - it's sold out, and apparently the first show in a while to do so - it's really cool to know there's that much enthusiasm for us here.
i wrote a couple of blogs earlier in the trip but couldn't get them to upload, so they are down below with some photos...
this was the view when we arrived - that's the sun, just trying to burn through the sand and humidity. you can just make out the skyscrapers in the distance.
steamed up!
a pretty swanky car parked outside when we arrived. sadly the keys weren't in it...
the nearby shopping centre is a bit more swanky than the arndale centre in eastbourne.
