Our last day in Thailand is also the hottest. At 11:30 am it was 40C, it's likely 42C or hotter now and the humidity is high. A lot of the Thais say that April is almost entirely this hot from Bangkok to the North (Chiang Mai). If I had to do that trek in this heat, I'd have likely passed out and rolled down a cliff. Rather than that, though, we intend to head to Dubai today, more or less into the fire - there's heat everywhere we go.
On the bright side, Dubai is hidden beneath the behemoth that is Saudi Arabia and further away from Iraq then, say, Israel who was a target of Iraq 12 years ago. To cool things off, we plan on visiting the best waterpark ever, where we don't even need stairs - a simple tube will do, along with jet streams pushing you uphill and an 80km/h speed slide. Also, we plan on going camping and capturing a camel... but, short of that we could also find a place that rents out camel rides. Should be fun, whatever we do. Maybe we'll run into one of those infamous sandstorms and I can croon to Kacey a 1950's tune by Harry Belofante: "Sand gets in your Eyes".
Goodbye scams, hello sands.

This is super... listening to all the media babble, trying to make sense of the "War on Iraq", while at the same time: hoping you are having a fantastic time at the Dubai waterslides... Pause. Something is wrong with my conscience. You are in the middle east: right? Okay, how about trying the Cultus Lake waterslides, I hear the ride down is worth the walk up.
Love Kel
