The Philippines that is fully “Made in China”. Calling the attention of tourism councils in Dubai, there is nothing culturally significant in this booth, except for the rear-facing flag. Those huge valentines heart scream anything but more fun in the Philippines!

Shawarma for snacks!

Eden’s jacket turned into a skirt – because Global City ain’t that global after all. No wearing of shorts in this city.

Off to Egypt!

Watching the making of sand bottle art

My friends are so hyper active, I should call them the BLURS!

Ready to head home

My favorite photo of the night – clueless man gets bombed!

Long day ends with dinner at the Noodle House, Burjuman Mall.
