dubai apartments

When I finish school, I'm planning on taking some time off and traveling. I've always wanted to get out of the area – I've lived here my entire life. I want to get out and try something new, somewhere luxurious and awesome. After some searching online, I've made up my mind. I'm going to Dubai. I know a lot of you haven't been there or really know anything about the place, but that's okay, since I don't either, haha. It's in the United Arab Emirates (the U.A.E.). I'm sure, however, that many of you have seen the famous shot of Agassi and Federer playing tennis on a converted helipad. That was taken in Dubai, lol, on top of the Burj Al Arab hotel, one of many 5 star hotels in Dubai. Man, the Dubai hotels are world-class. They are really great. I've researched a lot about Dubai lately, and the Dubai hotels and Dubai villas are really stupendous – mostly 5 or 4 stars, and built very close to the water, as Dubai is located on the east coast of the Arabian peninsula. The Burj Al Arab, for example, is built on a man-made island! Very cool. I've been looking at lodging options and hotels and villas aren't the only ones available. I've been looking at Dubai apartments and Dubai hotel apartments and can tell you that these are amazing as well. They are more of a self-service type of place to stay, but to a recently graduated college student, that's not too big of a deal, haha. There is lots of information on the internet on Dubai apartments and listings, as well as listings for Dubai villas and hotels, so being able to find prices and reservations shouldn't be too hard. All I have to do is save up a bit of money and find a few people to go with! Ah man, I can't wait. I can already feel the cool tropical breeze on my skin. Seriously, this place is a paradise. With less than 13 cm of rainfall a year, and set in a sub-tropic climate, this place is heaven. I bet the ladies there are amazing, too! Well, I guess the guys will be okay too, but hopefully not too “okay”, since they're my competition, haha.
