i arrived in DUBAI super early, caught a cab and checked into my apartment. after freshening up, i passed out for a while. when i woke up i hit the town for the longest walk i have ever taken. i walked all the way down DUBAI CREEK and crossed AL MAKTOUM BRIDGE. then i walked back up DUBAI CREEK before going under it to DEIRA via the pedestrian tunnel. then i walked through the GOLD SOUK (you want copy watch sir?) and got some food before heading back home. i wasn't tired until the next day. during my journey i was mistaken for a GERMAN, an AUSTRALIAN, and i told one dude that i was from MONTREAL. the guy with the bike in the pedestrian tunnel asked were i was from and i just spoke broken FRENCH to him until he walked away. tomorrow i will be AMERICAN.
