Thanks Monica,
If I am ever in Xinjiang will definitely get your advice for skewers of meat. If you ever come through Bangkok we will have to do some serious feasting! Safe travels to you too.

Great post Mark! I’d love to have those skewers for breakfast! Lol I think the best one’s I’ve ever tasted was in a Xinjiang “restaurant.” It wasn’t a hole-in-the-wall kind of joint but it wasn’t exactly a the cleanest place to eat but the skewers were the best I’ve ever had. I was never able to find another place that made it as good.

And I’m totally with you on eating Western food in foreign countries.

Safe Travels!
Monica

@Danae: Thanks Danae! That picture was taken indoors at one of the fancy themed malls with the sky painted on the ceiling. haha, yes, nothing is done outdoors in Dubai due to temperature extremes.

@Jason: Yah guy, you were the one who tore up the snowboard slopes! You need to get your website going so I can link to you next time. Hope you are doing great.

hi mark,

wow great perspective here, one question the photo of the outdoor setting w. starbuck’s sky seems so low is it outdoors or shot inside with ceiling painted to resemble sky because temperatures are so high??

safe travels,
danae

@Carmen: Yah, even though it is difficult, it is possible to do things not too expensively in Dubai.

@Amy: Haha, yes, I had to be eating the local Arab and Pakistani food. It was delicious. Hope you can visit someday soon!

@Erik: Alright, thanks Erik, I’m going to check that video out. Are you back in Sweden now? Yah, would love to visit sometime!

Thank you for the tips on visiting Dubai. I have always been curious about this city and would love to visit some day. Glad that you were able to find local eats instead of those Western chain restaurants.
