Travel Logs

After a lot of lazy postponement I decided to blog my travels,not because I felt the need to upload the pics but to kill my boredom.The recent pox I had kept me indoors for almost 15 days and TV,internet,books couldn't stop the boredom.

I found this quote very interesting and it did coincide and surprisingly fit with my blisters thanks to the pox

"Boredom is like a pitiless zooming in on the epidermis of time. Every instant is dilated and magnified like the pores of the face."

Ok let me not bore you...here it goes its a collection of fotos which starts from my visit to Saudi Arabia,Dubai,London and Ireland.

Burj Al Arab

Burj Al Arab is the world's second tallest hotel.The Burj Al Arab stands on an artificial island on the Jumeira Beach.It was built to resemble the sail of a dhow, a type of Arabian vessel. Two "wings" spread in a V to form a vast "mast", while the space between them is enclosed in a massive atrium.Tiger woods famouly played golf on helipad of burj al arab



Burj Khalifa

Burj Khalifa also known as Burj Dubai prior to its inauguration, is a skyscraper in Dubai and the tallest man-made structure ever built in the world.I took this photo one year priot to its inaguration or to precise when it was called Burj Dubai.One has to feel sorry for the thousands of Asian labourers who shed their blood and sweat to build this.They were underpaid and at times never paid.According to a BBC investigation and a Human Rights Watch report, the workers were housed in abysmal conditions, their pay was often withheld, their passports were confiscated by their employers, and they were working in hazardous conditions that resulted in an apparently high number of deaths and injuries on site.

Atlantis, The Palm

Atlantis, the Palm is a resort at Palm Jumeirah in Dubai.The resort consists of two towers linked by a bridge.The seven stars resort also includes a water Aquaventure theme park,Dolphin Bay and the highlight being a 1 million lite aquarium housing a female whaleshark.

Mossad @ its best in Dubai

Yet another clinical hit from Mossad, this time a fugitive who has been eluding them for years.Mahmoud al-Mabhouh a top Hamas military operation leader who lead the capture and execution of 2 Israeli soldiers back in 1989, from that day his fate was sealed and his life was at the mercy of Mossad Israel's and worlds most feared spy agency.

Mahmoud had already escaped two assasination attempts, the second one he was poisoned which left him unconscious for 30 hrs but not the third time mossad was more clinical this time.

Mahmoud was tracked, followed by 11 assasins carrying fake fradulent passports of from various European countries.Mahmoud was in Dubai for arms purchase for Hamas from Iran Revolutionary Guards.The assasins were very methodical they used encrypted communication devices to communicate among themselves, they entered his room 23o in Al Bustan Rotana hotel.

They reprogrammed the electronic lock to Mahmoud's room and waited for him to arrive. They killed him and left the country before the authorities could locate them.So far the Dubai police doesnt have a clue on the mode of his murder or reason for his death.They believe he was shocked,poisoned or suffocated to death.

As I write Dubai police have identified 15 more people as suspects to this operation and there is no evidence to point fingers at Mossad so far.As usual mossad government neither accepted or denied their involvement to Mahmouds death.The whole world has gone crazy about their action and calls for Mossads chief and Netanyuhu's arrest are increasing......has people gone crazy ...Mossad should be appreciated for wiping out another dangerous terrorist....if at all RAW could have its operatives trained through Mossad there wont be any Lakhvis,Dawoods and Hafiz Sayeed's roaming around freely.....

As Danny Yatom former head of Mossad said

"I think that no terrorist can enjoy any immunity and they should know that the free world will chase them if they continue to execute terror attacks"

Fear will continue to ring the ears of terrorists as long as Mossad is there.
