Cities and Confetti [ Dubai - Day 7 ]

As expected I sucked camel testies at Skiing although the trip into Dubai was really interesting. Got to see the 7 star hotel which looked very nice. We're going to the waterpark next to it tomorrow so it's another early start for us. I'm going to hazard a guess and say that the waterpark isn't 7 star, though.

Before we could reach Ski Dubai, we had to navigate a moving traffic cone.

Today as we were leaving Ski Dubai through the area where the front desks are we heard a loud band. At first I assumed the loud noise was made by a skier hitting the class window of the viewing area, but it turned out the noise was caused by a confetti gun. It was used because the 3 millionth customer had just bought a ticket to the slopes for him and his family.

Lots of staff surrounded the guy and his kids. They gave him some plane tickets (no idea where to) and a massive green cake. As all the confetti fell to the ground I looked over to the cleaner and saw that he looked really pissed off. As he began the clean up process kids were picking up the confetti and throwing it again.
