I recently visited Dubai and it was an awesome place. In case someone is looking for a nice family trip with a narrow budget, let me know. I have good contacts over there who can arrange stuff in cheaper rates.

I stayed in a good budget hotel at Bur Dubai. Hotel name was Omega hotel and it had all the amenities required.  Also, very near to 24-hour open market.

One day we spent at Yas Viceroy hoel in Abu Dhabi at Yas Island and it was an amazing experience. Hotel is quite expensive but it is worth staying at least a day. The hotel has private F1 racing track and Marina. The view is great. However, it is 35 km away from the Abu Dhabi city.
It was the most luxurious hotel I stayed ever. If you want to get the best room on family member's birthday or anniversary, let the hotel reception know about it once you get in. They will make your event best or maybe they can upgrade the room to the Suit which is an amazing experience.
The hotel itself has 6 restaurants inside it. One of the Indian restaurants is called Angan.

The whole booking was done by Jaya Maini (my friend and host in Dubai). She is the most knowledgeable and welcoming person with lots of ideas to propose to make your tour best.

The highlights of the tour was :

1. Hummer ride on day 1 to King Palace
2. Adventurous ride on world's fastest Roller coaster at Ferrari world, Abu Dhabi.
3. Luxurious stay at YAS hotel with an option to drive F1 racing car.
4. Fountain show at Dubai mall in the evening.
5. Dinner at Desert safari camp.

Australian Accent

Glottal Stop:
Speakers of British English always seem to be on the lookout for the glottal stop: that abrupt silence that can replace the “t” in words like “right” or “taught” or between the syllables in an exclamation like “uh-oh!”.

Michael Dell

Born on February 23, 1965, in Houston, Texas, Michael Dell showed an early interest in technology and gadgets. At the age of 15, he purchased an early Apple computer in order to take it apart to see how it worked. In college, he started building computers and selling them directly to people, focusing on strong customer support and cheaper prices. Dell Computer was the world's largest PC maker.

Dell's success wasn't entirely surprising. While his mother, a stockbroker, and his father, an orthodontist, pushed their son to consider medicine, Dell showed an early interest in technology and business.

A hard worker, Dell landed a job washing dishes at a Chinese restaurant at the age 12 so that he could put away money for his stamp collection. A few years later he harnassed his ability to sift through data to find new customers for newspaper subscriptions for the Houston Post, which earned the high school student $18,000 in one single year.

Intrigued by the expanding world of computers and gadgetry, Dell purchased an early Apple computer at the age of 15 for the strict purpose of taking it apart to see how it worked.

It was in college that Dell found the niche that would become his boom. The PC world was still young and Dell realized that no company had tried selling directly to customers. Bypassing the middleman and the markups, Dell tapped his savings account for $1,000 and started building and selling computers for people he knew at college. His emphasis, however, wasn't just on good machines, but strong customer support and cheaper prices. Soon, he had accounts outside of school and it wasn't long before Dell dropped out and focused all his efforts on his business.

The numbers proved staggering. In 1984, Dell's first full year in business, he had $6 million in sales. By 2000, Dell was a billionaire and his company had offices in 34 countries and employee count of more than 35,000. The following year, Dell Computer surpassed Compaq Computer as the world's largest PC maker.

Overall, Dell's first 20 years proved to be one of the most successful businesses on the planet, surprising such titans as Wal-Mart and General Electric. Dell's story is so compelling that, in 1999, he published a best-selling book about his success, Direct from Dell: Strategies That Revolutionized the Industry.

Dell married Susan Lynn Lieberman on October 28, 1989 in Austin, Texas; the couple reside there with their four children.

In 1999, Michael and Susan Dell established the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation, which focuses on, among other causes, grants, urban education, childhood health and family economic stability
