Dubai Mall

Well Dubai Mall is huge... (and far from complete)... and takes forever to walk around!

There are many shops still preparing to open and finishing touches are still being added. The aquarium is very impressive and it is nice to have an "underwater world" here... although some of the wild life (particularly the seals) in the discovery centre upstairs could do with bigger areas to swim and play (but definitely not the worse I have seen); but the otters seemed happy, cute and very ottery.

Of course out the back of the mall is Burj Dubai and a lake which still has a long way to go to be complete. One of the strange things is if you walk across a little bridge you end up in a completely different small souq-type mall which has some really nice things that realistically should be in the mega mall to provide a little more variety... but oh well... what would I know!
