Breakfast on the Hotel Terrace

That's the view from the hotel terrace. I am in the last room in the block you see in the picture, so my room affords a breath-takingly beautiful view. I could stay here for a loooooong time






And this is me

My room in Turkey

I am in Turkey today. Here for official work and I'm staying at the Çinar Hotel Istanbul.

As you can guess from the text above, I'm a bit tired. Flew from Karachi at 0300 (and I left home around 2330 to be there by 0000). The flight time is 5 hours and 40 minutes. Since Turkey is 2 hours behind Pakistan, I got here by 0640 local time. After going through passport control and customs, I took a cab (who ranted all the way to the hotel for God knows what - I can imagine that the trip being small didn't get him enough fare).

Checked into the hotel and here's a pic of my room.



The room doesn't give much to talk about. However, the view is to die for. I'm sure you'll be expecting pictures. Low quality yet again, since they're all taken from the cell phone cam. Will post pictures from a good camera soon.

Dubai Trip

I took yet another trip to Dubai, but my camera had just died on me before I left so I was unable to take any good pictures. I took just a few from my cellphone camera, and the usable ones will be posted here shortly.

Weather Report Isloo - GREAT!!!

The weather was amazing yesterday, and I had been cooped up inside watching a movie (V for Vendetta). Anyways, I saw the weather outside after I had seen the movie, and I just had to get out. All I had on me was my cell phone cam, so took some pics.

Mercato Mall - Dubai

"Mercato" is italian for market. Since this mall has been constructed with exquisite italian stylings inside, the name is pretty apt. Mercato Mall is one of the expensivist malls in Dubai (at least that's what I was told).

The italian style interior is simply amazing and a sight to behold.
