Belated Dubai post from Amelia

Hii it’s Amelia and we are in Dubai now! My mom, dad and I went up the tallest building in the world it’s called the Burj Khalifa! I learned that there is going to be another tall building and it will be called the Dubai creek tower! It will be the tallest building soon and the Burj Khalifa will be the second tallest building. We think that they want the tallest and second tallest buildings to be in the same country. We also went to a water park that has the most water slides in the world isn’t that cool! Unfortunately some of the rides were too scary for me and Neptune tower was the one where all of the non scary slides were and we didn’t go there because we didn’t know that it was there! When we were leaving we found out that it was there! So we skipped a whole section of the water park. Spices at the market  Jars of sand for sale  At the waterpark!  At the top of the Burj Khalifa 

Tanzania safari

The next place I stayed was a tented camp where you needed to call for security to bring you to the main tent so you won’t be eaten by a hyena or lion. I stayed in 2 places like that, but one moved with the migration of the wildebeest so there were no permanent water tanks and you had to call for shower water. The reason I saw so many zebra, gazelles, and wildebeest is because of the migration! The great migration is when most of the animals move from one side to the other (North to South, East to West) to find more food and water. I was told that it is vey rare to get to see 2 kills in the wild. I saw a cheetah run it’s top ...

Late post

 Hello! I am sorry I haven’t been posting a lot because I went on safari and the wifi was horrible. A better blog to read will be my mom’s because she posts every day.  This post is from Dubai.  Hello! I went on a tour in Dubai for the market and it was very informative. I went to the market before the tour and it was nice to get some extra information. For example, the “real cashmere “ scarfs are fake which didn’t really surprise me. Another example is how they will overprice things so much ($300 when it is worth $50) and be very mad when you bargain to a reasonable price. I have    also noticed how they speak better english than in Asia so they can be more stubborn for getting you to buy things. I had to take a boat across the water to get to the market. The boats were small    motorized rowboats that can hold about 15 people. The market smelled very strongly of spices which makes sense because almost all of the shops are spice stores. There were als...
