Well, the best work trip yet with Pranvera joining and kids left at home. For a week in 47C we melted away 6 days at the 5 Star Grand Hyatt. Certainly a playground in the dessert everything reminded me of Vegas, except the tallest building in the world and the massive race to add as many skyscrapers by 2020. Although my days were spent training the Energy and Water Agency and partners, nights were enjoyed poolside, at very expensive restaurants both inside the hotel and out with two different sets of friends. The extreme heat certainly limited our pure outside enjoyment but with shopping malls containing 1200 stores, ski mountain, skating rinks, aquariums, who needs to go outside? Although a nice experience not the scale, temperature or modernity that would be desirable long-term.
