Shares

25/10/2019 I packed my bags as usual and traveled as migratory birds towards Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (visa.. tickets.. running.. checkpoint police.. delay...) are all things that only the traveler lives because they are unusual conditions for others because we are travelers who always dive into the unknown and face new experiences. One of the benefits of travel is acclimatization with The circumstances outside the familiar and welcome the change to break the routine. 26/10/2019 I landed at the airport at 8 am I took my luggage and headed towards transportation, there are several methods, so I decided to take the tromway because it is less expensive, so our priorities must try from spontaneous wasting to saving in order to dispose of money accurately in order to visit several places in the city so we learn how to take The right decisions and how to become experts in budgeting. I arrived at the hotel exhausting, took a break, and then I went out on a tour to explore the city, and I found everyone in Dubai who speaks English even though it is an Arab country. Most of the workers are Chinese, Indian, Filipino and tourists from all over the world so I had to use my broken English to get my desires from food and drink and new friends that brought me stories with them Sweet, I explored another benefit, which is a new culture, society, and traditions alien to me, because it made me grateful for my trip. There are 5 days left for me to return to my country. I visited several places, including the Burj Khalifa, which is the tallest tower in the world, the Burj Al Arab and the global village, and toured the boat in the Dubai Creek and shopping from the Dubai Mall, which is the largest mall in the world .. I went to ski and went to Atlantis, which has a water park and garden Animals I also visited a place called Marina with several skyscrapers, yachts and restaurants. It is a charming city that is visited by all the world’s celebrities, being a living and developed city with several activities and places that delight tourists here. I learned how to wander without the Internet and did not work for me to be connected to everyone to send pictures only I was watching and marveling because travel The only chance for isolation. I went to the Dubai desert without a map. I just walk and ask with ten words I know of the English language. There I found strange cuisine, dance and habits I watch for the first time. I went out of my comfort zone and lived new experiences. True, I am far from my family a distance of 8 hours by plane, but I got away to the origin and I have the perfect recipe To solve all my problems because many of the questions of life I answered during my travel. 01/10/2019 I returned to my country, but not with eyes and ears open, but travel taught me to walk also with an open mind. "One changes after travel, and does not return as it was" Chinese wisdom You will never see you see the world as it is again .. The best thing a person can do is to indulge in travel most of his life, he will realize that all people do not think the same way and do not live the same life and do not act like each other. The person will realize that there are different cultures that include different philosophies and priorities than what he knows.
