Today I'll be showing you half of Global Village. After the Holidays me and my family went straight to Dubai. I only stayed their for about ten days. On the first day, we visited Global Village. It is only open for two months in celebration of Dubai Shopping Festival. It is like a theme park and a shopping mall with an outdoor setting. We didn't actually went to see the rides, we only visited the shops also know as pavilions. There are 32 pavilions that represents different countries. I guess that's why they called the place Global. If you'd like to see the list of pavilion and programs that they offer just visit their site: Global Village



The place is not only known for its rides and pavilion but also for its breathtaking stunts and cultural shows. Every pavilion has a mini stage were a group of performers show off their traditional dances. At the center, a huge stage can found where role plays and other performances are held.
There are also a wide variety of foods to choose from. Since it was so cold we tried to eat hot foods. The potato on stick looks so delicious, who couldn't resist it. We ate a Shawarma on plate at a restaurant and it cost as about 45 dirhams each. It was really expensive compared to buying a Shawarma on street which cost us only 5 dirhams each. The prices are high so better bring a lot of money when visiting.
Some of the pavilion offers handmade product which are made by well known artist from their country. Here is an example below: An Italian artist that uses a technique called wire bending in creating art.

It is very usual of me to post pictures about my family but I just couldn't help my self from sharing these photo. This is the story about the picture below: As you can see from the first phot I was taking a picture for my little sister. Then out of nowhere these couple showed up and started photobombing. I nearly died of laughing as to how the picture turned up because instead of my sister being the main subject for the photo it turned the other way around. It seems like she's the photo bomber and the camera is agreeing with them. They became the focus as to were my sister became the background and turned blurry.
Thank you for visiting!
Till next time.
