Dubailand cont...
concepts that are in development at the entertainment/ knowledge park.
You should check it out online!
Dubailand 2012ish
about five times the size of Singapore! The launch date for Dubailand
is December 10th of 2011 - with the recent (global) economic events,
construction has slowed and some projects have been delayed.
The student group has been having so much fun (everyone IS really cool
here) that we all want to have reunion when it opens, probably by 2012!

Third Night
Dubai Creek dinner cruise!!
The views were awesome, the intercontinental buffet was scrumptious,
and the music and entertainment was fun.. The singer even dedicated
her second song to us!! Of course it was a country song :-)
wasl company visit
estate / property management group, fully owned by the Dubai government.
wasl - btw... this word loosely translates in Islamic to "making
connections" and "building value"
I love the design of their logo - and the bright orange! (not so sure
about the lower-case brand name though) Their office buildings and
interior design reflect the bright oranges, yellows, and reds of their
"brand."
It was a great presentation on their mission (they are a very young
company) and upcoming/current real estate projects - I really hope to
keep in touch with some of the connections we made there!

We have struck GOLD
Gold Souk, which loosely translates to "the gold market."
It was a great experience, we each were able to secure awesome deals
on things like gold rings, bangles, and textiles. Proof that PACE
students have excellent negotiating & bargaining skills!!
