Dubai experience

We chose Dubai for our vacation to meet my mother. I have Filipino passport so I still need visa to get there. Some hotels can arrange visa for me, but since my mom was there she was the one took care of it. Bert paid 700aed for the visa and they sent it to me through email. We traveled the Turkish Airlines connecting flight from Amsterdam to Istanbul then Istanbul to Dubai. It was tiring, but it's Ok we had a great deal for the tickets and in fairness the Turkish Airlines have good accommodation, I like their food and I felt comfy too.

We arrived evening in Istanbul I've seen the elegant country with  lots of lights and big buildings. I took pics, but it came out blurred we were in a hurry to connect another flight. Early morning, 5:30 we arrived in Dubai one of co- workers of my mom fetched us she waited for a long time because we were lost. The Dubai airport was so big! Gosh...I've never seen such a big airport so impressive! But the signs are confusing. It took time for me to pass the immigration I need an eye scan before they will stamp my passport. A bit interview of an immigration officer. I have to laugh about it they think about Filipinos that went there and never came back. A lot of  Kababayan I met and even some Arabian can speak a little bit Filipino. We were in terminal three, but supposed to be in terminal 1.  The baggage area was in terminal one and we have to go there. It was two hours of seeking and walking one thing we learned never ask somebody and go for your instinct.
