Have you seen the movie of Aga Muhlach and Claudine Barretto before? It is a move entitled Dubai and explores the life of brothers living in the country as OFWs (Overseas Filipino Workers). I actually havent seen the whole movie. I saw the full-length trailer though and was actually amazed that a country like that exists in the Middle East. No wonder it is dubbed as the “shopping capital of the Middle East”. With so many shopping malls and souks, there’s no better place to find products at unbeatable prices. It is truly a duty free shopper’s paradise that gives you more for your money.

It is also noticeable how the country is the popular option to most Filipinos these days, in addition to the US, Canada and Australia. Within my circle of friends, I know of more than 10 people who have gone there already to work. Most of them are licensed engineers, CPAs, accountants and architects. The businesses in Dubai are flourishing and there is a need for skilled workers. No wonder brain drain is happening to our country.

Most investors in Dubai are foreign ones. So the hotels and apartments in Dubai are stepping up as well. The
dubai apartments are now classified into types. There are luxury villas, dubai hotel apartments and dubai furnished apartments. Most prefer staying in these types of accomodations that in dubai hotels as they feel more at home. The apartments are also available for short-term leasing with more affordable options. This is the preferred option for foreign investors as they stay in the country for months at a time.

What are the things you can do in Dubai? You need to check out their art galleries. Of course, a trip in Dubai wouldnt be complete without seeing camel racing and experiencing driving in the desert! You can choose what type of driving you can do, but it should be a one-of-a-kind experience! You need to take a tour at the creeks too!

Random Trivia of the day:

Did you know that London is one of the most expensive cities in the world, along with Moscow and Seoul. The city is actually ranked second among the three, where you can rent an apartment for two thousands pounds a month. Did you know that a cup of coffee there will take you city of Kuala Lumpur for four miles already and that is on a cab! However, the city is full of beautiful sights and thankfully, it is free. However, it would still cost you to get inside and roam around. The city is set to be the 2012 Olympics host though, and that has given the living costs a huge boost while shooting the roof off of any imaginary price caps that may have existed earlier, so accommodation news are buzzing around for the expected deluge of tourists.

I actually love London. Ever since I watched the movie Sabrina, I have drawn to the city already. I love their cobbled stoned walks and how you can reach places so easily. Of course, the whole city just spells romance, right? These are just one of the many travel spots I want to see - Tower of London, London Zoo, Kensington Palace, Windsor Castle, London Aquarium, Shakespeare’s Globe, St Paul’s Cathedral, Chelsea FC Stadium Tour and the Tower Bridge Exhibition and many more. Have you heard of the London Pass though? It is basically a plastic card offered to customers that you can use to enter tourist attractions - no paying every time you need to enter. You just pay a one-time fee and choose how many days you want to have the pass, and you are good to go! As simple as that. Plus, and I personally think this is the most important, it has queue jumping privileges!

Can you tell I’ve read so much about the city and how to roam around as a tourist?

I just finished watching the movie, Sabrina, and I wanted to go experience Paris! It seems like a great city where you can really discover yourself, isn’t it? France travel is one of my most dream travel vacations. France has a very deep historical culture and I would love to experience and see it firsthand. I also love to check out hotel
france accommodations and go out and check coffee shops.

I’ve been hearing about Riviera Maya a lot as place to go to when planning Mexico Vacations. There have been a lot of positive feedback regarding El Dorado Seaside Suites. The most popular feedback is the new Gourmet Inclusive which is touted to be a radically new concept in travel and cuisine. What I actually am so intrigued about is the natural bliss of “Aquas del Amor” – the outdoor, ceiling-free showers that adorn the decadent casita suites at El Dorado Royale Resort in Riviera Maya. Wouldn’t that be so romantic? The Gourmet Inclusive concept has three restaurants at the resort -Arrecifes, La Carreta and Klay Taray. They offer a la carte menus of international, authentic Mexican and Pan Asian cuisine.

It is better to do research on travel packages and hotel deals online these days. Usually, when you book hotels online through their partner, they can give you up to 35-50% less than the actually offer price in the hotel front desk. For example, when you look Orlando Hotels and book at Orlandovacation.com, you will get it cheaper. Hotels in Orlando are very in demand because aside from Disney World, there are over 52 theme parks to go to. I can imagine how much a tourist spot this is when summer and the holiday season come! Thankfully, most travel plans and bookings can now be done online!
