Pictures...Finally! And Mariachi Music in Dubai, what?

I haven't been able to upload any pictures from one of my two cameras because I didn't have the proper USB cord. I guess I left it back home. The Mall of the Emirates has been sold out of the cord in every store for the last 2 weeks, but luckily I found one there today.
Click the link below to see the photos I've taken so far, here in Dubai.
First set of photos in Dubai
Whenever I upload photos I will always put the whole set here or I will them link from Flickr to the blog, I'll upload a few on to myspace and facebook as well.
So while I was walking through the mall to buy groceries I heard Mariachi music playing. I thought, wait a minute, I'm in the Middle East right now, there are no Mexicans here, why the hell is Mariachi music being played. Well there's a stage in the mall, similar to what they have going on at the Fashion show mall but on a bigger scale, and they have performances there throughout the day. Right there on the center of the stage, in the middle of the mall, surrounded by Arabs and Europeans, were five short Mexican men with instruments in traditional Mexican clothes singing "Guantanamera, guajira, Guantanamera." Tonight the headliners were Mariachi Figueroa, a Mexican mariachi band from Canada. I know right, it just keeps getting stranger, Mexicans in Canada too??? What?!?! Martha! You didn't tell me you had family here, jerk! haha Anyways, they played live and their voices sounded great. I know it's a Cuban song, but still it rekindled some Vegas memories.
Another thing. That grocery store that I went to inside the mall is like a Wal-Mart Superstore. It's HUGE! Like I haven't heard that before, anyway back to the story haha. I got lost in there a few times and after a while I didn't even know what the hell I went in there for, even though I had a list in my hand. It's just wild that they have grocery stores inside of shopping malls here, and they have even designed escalators especially for the grocery customers so that they can take their shopping cart up and down the 3 different levels of the mall.

Anyways, enjoy the photos. You guys have the phone number, it's the weekend, give me a call. Hope everyone has a great weekend, I know I will! (researching, designing, marketing, etc. Yay, the weekends here!)
