Swanky



The other night for one of the lads birthdays we decided to go all out and sample the more posh side of Dubai. The Hyatt Regency Hotel was were we ended up. To be honest there was a reason we choose this particular place. Yes, you guessed it, it had an all you can eat, all you can drink deal going on. Twenty-five of us entered the lobby and immediately knew that we were way out of our depth.

There was a glare off the floor and another one off the people inside wondering who this rough crowd was. One of the lads had no time to dry his pants after coming from the wash so he left a trail of water on the way to the lifts.


The restaurant is located on the last of the 26 floors in the hotel. The view is unbelivable. On one side is the sea, and on the other is the stunning skyline of Deira, the centre of Dubai. It doesn't matter where you sit, as the top floor rotates. At 4 degrees a minute, I calculated. The novelty wore off as the drink intake increased. Why you ask? Well see the middle of the floor stays in the same place, the place with the toilets. So the door for the toilet kept changing places. Every single one of the group at some time walked into the kitchen to go to the toilet.

We need more Derek. Trying to design the kitchen in our new house-looking for ideas from the rooftop.
