Fish'n'Shops

Fish'n'Shops.

Last week I took my two girls up to Dubai Mall for the day.

We visited the Aquarium first off. It had been the initial reason for our visit...

First we went through the 'claustrophobic' tunnel....


Saw some awesome fish in the Water Zoo upstairs from the Aquarium...


Said hello to all the little Nemo's swimming around...


Tried to explain just what Jelly Fish are...


...then we hit the shops.

MissM had taken some of her own dirham with her (it was great because I didn't have to buy her anything!) and she purchased a simple summer dress from H&M, a couple of books, a few 'sweeties' and choose and purchased a new pair of shoes, which she is very proud of.


MissM enjoyed the shopping experience with her own money. I asked her why? Her response was "because the ladies behind the counter give you money!".... I still smile at that. Little does she realise that she is getting less money than what she handed over.

So next time you need to justify to your partner over shopping for ones self, just tell them that. The shop assistance still give you money back. Half of the time anyway. =)

MissM and I are now looking forward to shopping again. Roll on Summer holidays!
