She wake up in the middle of the flight to a scent of hot steamy delicious rice box that the stewardess been bring all around the cabin eversince.

"Thankyouu"liv thanked the stewardess

"Apple juice is fine"

"Okay here you go,enjoy the lunch"

"Thanks"

Well,it's a 6 hour and 30 minute flight.Liv took off from the runaway around 9 am earlier,and now it's already lunch time,so maybe afternoon is around the corner.

Ever since the plane took off,Liv only sleeps during the whole flight,because last night she barely get enough sleep it was too emotional and too excited to sleep for her.She now eats her lunch while entertain herself with the little entertainment screen infront of her that sticks into the front passenger's seat,watching a movie while eating.

Then she looked at the sky from the window,it's a clear blue sky in late february 2020,she thought maybe this plane is already leaving the cold,rough european area.

Touchdown,then safely landing.As the plane safely parked,all of the passenger stand up and open the small baggage in the cabin,she only taking her bags from the small baggage and checking everything once again on her seat because she's one of those clumsy person, she's afraid she leave anything precious here.

After going down stairs from the plane and taking the buss to the airport it just feel surreal. Everything seems so unreal,as she looked around,and to other passenger's face they seem happy with their families, partners, friends,etc or passenger's face who sticked to their phone because of their work or they're chatting with their loved ones, or passenger who just look around confused amazed and lonely just like her, came here all alone and amazed feeling unreal because they really here in this beautiful, big, and luxurious city.

As soon as the buss reached the airport she quickly grabbed her stuff,and get off from the buss like the other passenger did.This is the rough part, because dubai airport is so large and wide she wait for her luggage almost 30 minutes wich is very tiring, she's lack of sleeping, she thought as soon as she got into her hotel,she will have a good rest.

This also her bad decision, she rejected the hotel pick up service that she'll have to pay 20 dirhams extra,and she have to use the karim or uber apps that she just have downloaded recently after she get her sim card,and the price of the uber or karin apps is even more expensive from the hotel pickup service.

Which is also a waste of time,she should've been checking into her hotel 5 minutes ago.Finally she found the driver that will take her to the hotel.she's staying at hilton dubai, which is one of the best hotel in dubai rated by booking.com,it is actually worth it. She stayed there for 5 days and then she will move to another hotel, she also already got breakfast service for those 5 days.

After trying to figure out how to use the karim app,finally after a few steps of signing up to the app with her gmail account finally she can get a cab driver to her hotel. Mr ahmed it says on the app the one who's gonna take her to the hilton hotel.

Its kinda struggle too,because dubai airport is very wide and in the pick up section is very crowded, so she have to come up to mr ahmed's parking place which is kinda far from where i am but its okay.

After get into his car and leaving the airport, her eyes were glimmering with building lights,she even can't take her eyes off the street.

After 25 minutes of this online taxi ride finally she reached her hotel, the driver Mr. Ahmed told her a lot about dubai,if she want to spend her money on luxury stuff she should do this, and if she want to save a lot of money on this dubai trip she should to do that.He's very informative person with a little bit of his decent arabic accent he told her about himself that he's from iran and has been working here in dubai about 15 years.Such a nice and cool guy,very friendly too.

And they exchange information about each other,she gladly introduce herself not really intimate or private introduction,where she tell her private information or what,but that kind of introduction that makes people that you talking to feel comfortable and welcome chatting with you. It was really an enjoyable ride.

She pay him about 25 dirhams and gave him a tip too,not too much but not too less. He already gave her a pleasure ride and welcoming to this beautiful city,so liv want to make sure that he had a nice day, after going through some several check in steps she finally got into her room in this beautiful hilton hotel.

This is all she wanted, nice big wide room with so many new and elegant stuff in it.She haven't unpacked so much yet, after taking a nice shower and changing her airport ootd wannabe into her nighty night soft dress satin pajama and fell asleep in this big comfy bed.

She woke up with the view of dubai's city light shining and sparkling through her hotel window view. And she thought to herself that she's really living in her dream life now, when she look up to her phone wondering what time is it, its 8:30 PM she arrived here in the hotel about 5:30 or 6:00 PM something.And after unpack her stuff and doing her shower she fell asleep. Now she woke up with an amazing view, and she decided to go for a walk.

Cause dubai is a hot city with 35+ degrees temperature until 50 of max temperature.But luckily today when she arrived at the dubai airport it was only 40 degrees,and now because its a nightime the temperature is kinda cooling down so the temperature now is about 35-36 degrees.

First she look around the hotel checking the big pool, the gym with so many complete equipment, the parks and other amazing spot in this hotel, she even chat a lot with the staff while having a look around,they really gave her a detail information about each and every place.

Until she realized that she left the hotel to took some fresh air at 9:30.But you know its dubai the darker and the more late you've been,it's even more crowded and fun.

She entered one of the malls near her hotel area, because her hotel is surrounded by so many malls, she is in a literal confusion.People go here with their families, wife or husband,or maybe their sugar daddy or sugar mommy?.

Her?she's totally alone and confused,inside this mall there are many high end luxurious fashion brand. But her intention to go here was not buying an expensive stuffs.

She tried lamb kofta, chicken kebab, mutton rice, it was all so good. Then she arrived at the sephora for buying my makuep and skincares here, she's actually planning to settle down in Dubai about 3 weeks or maybe if she got comfortable she'll try to live here,she still don't know her plans yet but just in case. And If it's okay for her mentally, physically, and financially,she'll move here permanently.
