good bargain

now, in UAE.. and middle east..
and yang sewaktu dengannya..
dah masuk winter..

kat uae.. tak la sejuk sangat..
average between 15 - 25 celsius..
cebisan and serpihan,
tiupan angin sejuk mediterranian

di Dubai.. setiap tahun..
akan di adakan dan memang terkenal dengan
Dubai Sales Festival (DSF)..

sebulan je... selalunya.. mid jan to mid feb..
this year starts at 4 jan to 4 feb..

bukan la pelik sangat,
from what malaysia or other countries have..

but, one thing for sure yg berbeza..
from apa yang ada di KL..
is.. the precentage of discount during the sale..

for instance, branded items and products..
selalunya kat malaysia..
diskaun dia cuma until 30% je
but, in Dubai... during sale... up till 75%..
imagine..

musim sejuk macam ni gak..
ramai yang bertumpu and datang..
ye la... dah tak panas lagi..
golfing is nice (me not a golfer though)
shopping is good (me not a sale-freak too)

cumanya.. harga sewa bilik hotel.. perghhh...

for a standard room.. 4-star hotel..
kalau bulan biasa (pun memang tinggi dah)
is around 600 dirham = 620 ringgit = 180 dollars
during winter.. it will linger around
1000 dirham = 1030 ringgit = 300 dollars

tu baru 4-star..
bayangkan.. like Burj Al Arab Hotel..
yang the lowest category of room
is One Bedroom Suite...
bulan biasa.. it starts at USD 2000..

kenapa? tak percaya?

itu pun... akan fully booked..
rooms occupancy in Dubai..
selalunya.. average..
tak pernah turun from 90%..

early december... Ski Dome..
or Ski Dubai.. was opened..
yupp, 400-meter indoor-manmade-ski slope..
third of such in the world.. after US and Japan
if i'm not mistaken..

together.. with the new mall..
Mall of the Emirates..
along with the Kempenski Hotel..

now, other than the 'routine ritual'..
of shopping spree... there is skiing plea..

hence, i better get to know
the how-what-when-hopplaass...
