I always feel the cold, I hate it. Thats way I enjoyed the 45 degree heats out there.

We were driving around with the aircon on and by christ did that heat hit you when you got out.

theres a huge irish village themed bar there now ... i came back yesterday after 14 days re painting a boeing 777 , as part of a team for emirates 8)

the beer is still expensive , but our emirates security pass got us a 20% discount in most places , so wasn't all bad .... only problem is i'm really feeling the cold now :(
