Breakfast at The Palm (November 13, 2010)

This was the first time I ever entered The Palm. To be honest, I was very impressed. To imagine that all this is man-made and noticing the sheer size of the place was unbelievable. I managed to find the place where my brother and his friend were having breakfast and join them.

Since the weather was nice, they decided to sit outdoors. Now my pupils were dilated and I preferred a much darker place, but decided not to ruin the moment and good weather and just sit outdoors. I don’t remember what I ate there but it was pretty good (not amazing, but not bad either). I actually liked the setting a lot more, since it was outdoors and you can see the beach.

After the usual greetings, I tell my brother of the results of my eye checkup. He told me to look at the bright side and go back after 5 months just for a general health checkup even if I am not going ahead with any procedure. It was good having him and his friend around to discuss the results and eventually my mixed feelings unmixed themselves and out went the bad ones, leaving me a lot happier.

Since my brother and his friend just arrived back from Bali last night, we spent the next 15 minutes or so talking about their adventure there. Now all their talk about their adventures pumped me up for a trip I was planning with friends in January to visit either Thailand or Vietnam. I think after breakfast we wanted to walk off all the food we ate and headed to Dubai Mall.
