2015 in 5×5

So here it is, brand new year 2016! I’m traveling already for 12 months and slowly getting to the end! How would I summarise the last year? In points, as I don’t have Internet in here.

Wait it out. Abu Dhabi – India – Nepal

One important thing before we move to Nepal with all the news. It is this in-between trip UAE-Nepal. I think it might be useful and important for you. So sorry for the delay, but I really want you to know this. You know, practical stuff.

Abu Dhabi – Shine bright like a Diamond

Before I went to Abu Dhabi I was sure I wanted to visit the Grand Mosque and the Great Market I’ve seen in Sex and the City 2.

I can’t be the only one who thought it was filmed all in Abu Dhabi, right?

Can you imagine a better place for shopping than Dubai? There are of course many other places like London, Venice, and other cities, but when it´s about service that you get, there is only one option. My first impression about Dubai is that it was made for two things: business and shopping (which is actually business as well, so let´s call it one thing). Expensive hotels, restaurants, malls and many other places invite you to spend your money at them.
