Another controversial internet teen sensation. Watch out Rebecca Black, you've got a rival in the UAE!

Day 26--Ski Dubai FAIL
30(ish) Days of Fun::Caitlin's Arrival to the First Day of School
inspired by Mighty Girl
Ski Dubai seemed like the perfect grand finale to Caitlin's trip and a great way to celebrate my Abu Dhabi anniversary. (2 years on August 22!) Unfortunately, 'the coolest thing to do in Dubai' became 'the coolest thing NOT to do in Dubai'. It was a true FAIL. As you can tell by the picture, we made it there--we just didn't quite make it out on the snow. The slope is closed and isn't set to reopen until the first. Bummer.

Getting my Aquaventure On
Earlier today, a few friends and I went to "Aquaventure" -- the waterslide park connected to the infamous Atlantis hotel.

Okay--it doesn't quite look like this!
My highlight of the park was the "Leap of Faith" of The Amazing Race 15 fame. I didn't realize it at the time, but apparently we "dropped six stories down a nearly 90° incline and through a tunnel beneath the aquarium's shark lagoon." All I know was that it was fast and that even if there were sharks, all of the water in my face guaranteed I wasn't able to see a thing.
After what happened when I mixed waterproof camera + Jumeirah Sceirah at Wild Wadi last July, I decided not to bring a camera. Thankfully one of my friends nabbed a few pictures on her way out of the park. Thanks, Hannah!
Hannah & Allen
Hang on, Mike!
Jilly & Molly
I couldn't help it! That is genuine trepidation on my face!
Whee!

In the Press: This Was Not A Movie, Folks
In case you've only heard bits and pieces about this incident in Dubai, the Times Online provides an informative summary.
Creepy. (You know what else is creepy? A friend from church was attending a wedding reception at that hotel on the very night of the assassination.)
I wish we lived in a world where this:
was the only sort of secret agent business that was happening.
