Dubai, Day 8

May 28, 2009
Dubai, UAE

This day's adventures included some henna artistry, a trip to the Mall of the Emirates (affectionately known as MOE), and a trip out for masala chai and barfka-gola.


Illika was very intricate about her henna. 

Yes, the mall did have an ice rink in the middle of it.  Crazy Dubai-ins.

Barfka-gola, something like a snow cone on a stick.  This one was rose flavored, the other flavor we tried roughly translates to "black sour," which was a crazy combo of sweet-salty-sour-coca cola flavor with spices on top.

Masala Chai, brewed over the course of a day.  It's what Starbucks wishes it's chai tasted like, and it costs less than a dollar AND it comes in a pot.  These "matkas" can be recycled at the end of the day by soaking them all in water and reusing the clay for the next day.
