A Day in Paradise
It was my wife’s birthday.
She only wanted a simple day.
But how could I just let that day pass without even a simple celebration. And because I couldn’t bring her a dozen roses, I brought her to a million flowers – to a place called “paradise.”
Get ready to treat your eyes…
Al Ain Paradise is a garden park in our city which opens only during spring – a time when flowers are in full blossom. It holds the Guinness World Record for the largest display of hanging flower baskets.
I dedicate all these flowers to you 
Happy birthday, Mommy

Around the World in 4.5 Hours
Yesterday, we visited the GLOBAL VILLAGE in Dubai.
dubaichronicle.com
Global Village Dubailand is claimed to be the world’s largest tourism, leisure and entertainment project. It is the region’s first cultural, entertainment, family and shopping destination. Every year, it has 6 million visitors over an area of 17,200,000 sq ft (1,600,000 m2).
Global Village started out in the form of a number of kiosks in 1996 located on the Creek Side opposite to Dubai Municipality. It then later shifted to the Oud Metha Area near Wafi City for 5 years.Today, Global Village has 6 million visitors at its current location in DubaiLand. (wikipedia)
This is how it looks like from afar, during the day, 30 minutes early before the gates opened.

Global Village has over 26 pavilions each representing different countries. We went around the village for 4 1/2 hours try to sample each country’s culture. It was like going around the world for 4.5 hours!
