P.S. Last night I took a 2 hour driving tour of Dubai which was super cool, but I'll wait to post pictures from that at some point where I'm not depending on precious battery power on my laptop.
EDIT: I found a very cheap and very nice hotel here to stay in for the night, and it has free internet as well so it's perfect. Here are a few pictures from Dubai; they're all taken at night and from a moving vehicle so the lighting sucks and my little canon can't really handle photographing grand things blah blah blah, but I'm putting them up anyways, damnit.
Driving down the highway
Me next to the indoor ski slope (it's housed in a giant mall)
Entrance to one of the royal families' palaces. These compounds take up a few streets in the middle of the city and are huge!
The Burj-al Arab, one of 3 7 star hotels in the world. This picture is taken from the beach beside it, where I walked around for a little while and picked up some shells from the Arabian Gulf.
I think it looks like a cockroach from this angle.
A mosque by the center of the city.
The Burj Khalifa is the world's tallest building at 2,717 feet. It was completed this year.
The Atlantis - the Palm hotel, located on the manmade islands that look like a palm tree when viewed from above
