Personal: Global Village 2016

Hey peeps, went to Global Village this year and it had a new look! For those who don't know yet, Global Village is a cultural, entertainment, family and shopping outdoor destination in Dubai which only opens 4-5 months during the cold season. It was around 19°C when we went thus what we were wearing was just the right amount of knitted wear although I removed my scarf and beanie when we started walking around because it got crowded in some places.

The entrance was called the "Gate of the World" it looked better when it was darker because you could see it with the lights. I just read it is by far the largest gate in Global Village history, it has like 40 turnstile entrances and 40 ticketing counters. As I remember, they just had like a number of small gates around the park. Anyway! Once you enter this magnificent structure, you get welcomed with monumental structures from all over the world like the Tower of Pisa, Big Ben, Chinese Temple, entrance of an Egyptian temple, the Colosseum, and last but not the least, Burj Khalifa. YES! All of that behind that thing (see picture below, the first one)!

So, what are the things you can do in Global Village? Literally, you need a whole day to do everything or keep going back just to experience it all. Basically all you have to do in Global Village is eat everything you see. Sorry, but yes! All the different countries featured in the park will be serving their food. You don't have to shop or go play at the theme park, just eat! Anyway, just kidding I didn't even eat everything. I only ate the things I know, duh. Was there anything new I ate? Meh, don't think so. I got those shoes that have lights though.
