This weekend I went to the Emirates Palace Hotel for the first time. It is an amazing place that recently hosted the likes of Hillary Clinton and Tony Blair. The hotel is massive, with several wings, shops, restaurants, gardens, beaches, and an oppulent entrance of fountains. The dome ceiling in the center of the hotel is a must see. There is even a vending machine where you can get gold!!!!
The Seventh and top floor of the hotel is only available to rulers in the Gulf region. The sixth floor of the hotel is only available to international diplomats. I don't know what it costs to stay there, and really don't want to know!!!
My life of luxury at the Intercontinental Hotel is slowly coming to a close. It will be tough to leave the spoiled life, but I am ready for my own place. I received the keys to my apartment a few days ago and went there today to clean. My building is called the Al Yaqut Tower (which I was told means "of gold") and is very nice. It has a workout room, underground parking, and a rooftop pool!! The bathroom is a lot of fun because it has a bidet, and also what's become known as a bum gun. I used it today and must say, it's time for America to get on board with the bum gun! I'm going to save so much on TP!! My balcony has a view of The Grand Mosque, many other amazing architectural sites, as well as new construction too. I currently have no furniture, but just received a generous allowance to furnish my place. I did go to IKEA the other day to get all of my kitchen stuff, but will be looking elsewhere for furniture items. I dread shopping (sorry to my Sister, Mom and Aunts), but it will be fun to get some new stuff. Here are some pics:
