1:35am we arrived in Dubai. It's so beautiful here. We checked into the Rush Inn Hotel. It was actually pretty nice. Our shower was broken though, so I ended up washing my hair under the faucet. It was quite the experience. Haha. We slept until about 10am. One of our adult leaders, Joe, found out that we could go on a tour for about $22 a person. So we got to visit/see a variety of different places. We saw a few mosques, a lot of beaches, an art museum, a mall, the palm islands, the tallest man made structure, and a few others... I can't recall there names. It was a very neat experience! The only thing was that it was 110ish degrees outside! Crazy hot! Also, since most people here are Muslim, I had to wear 
jeans. The water looked SO GOOD. I wanted to jump in SO BAD. It would be a magnificent place to vacation, only it's pretty expensive. I'm glad that we got to see the city though!I most definitely experienced culture shock going from Kenya to the Emirates. People here are so wealthy! The police have BMWs, and we saw a couple Lamborghinis! Seriously, I never really quite understood when people said "it's like a whole new world". Now I understand. I could have stayed in Kenya longer, but after traveling for this long, I'm excited to go home. I miss you Mom, Dad, Kyle, and Sadie. I just wonder what I'm going to be like...
