Excuse Me, There is a Man in My Drink...

    Oh, Filo-sofers! 

    I have been so busy lately!

    I know that is no excuse for neglecting the blog and all of you, 

    but please please bare with me for another week or two 

    as I have a lot of big and exciting things to share with you that

    hopefully will make up for/justify my silence lately.

    In the meantime,

    here is a picture of a nice man that guarded my mojito in Istanbul.

Insert Memory Card: Dubai in 20 hours

I just spent a deliriously saturated day in the surreal city of Dubai.

   

A city where the colonnades are embedded with glitter (seriously)

and all that is solid melts into gold...

 A city where the new

 trumps the old

 and progress starts at the 124th floor

a city where (with a big enough wallet) you can manifest an Alpine village

 

or make it rain men (you know you've always wanted to)

A place where the mall and mosque become one in the same

and the end of the line is always in sight...
