Let There Be Light (in Dubai Mall)

Imagine my surprise (about a year ago) when I walked into Starbucks and found out that there is, in fact, no free wifi.

Clearly, I have been spoiled by North American internet access.

A quick google search informed me that Dubai actually has very few public internet access spaces. Oh well, I guess that's how the cookie crumbles (grumble... grumble).

Luckily enough, the crown jewel of Dubai's mall scene (which is already a pretty large, ornate crown, mind you) - the Dubai Mall (original name, yes?) - actually has free wifi throughout it's 440,000 square feet (!).

And so, in an effort to both leave the house (as wonderful as it is), and to find the motivation/atmosphere to write about 3000 words in the span of 4 days, I was conveniently dropped off here and left to my own devices. And by devices I mean my handy dandy computer-in-law and sufficient caffeination.

So far, it's been pretty fruitful, hopefully I'll remember to bring my camera next time.


Onwards!
