Mall of Flies and Pads

Yes, can you believe that this souk-freak finally ventured to the Mall of the Emirates.
It looks nice, drove straight up to the highest level and thoroughly enjoyed the huge parking lot, enabling myself to park close up to a pillar on one side inverting my side mirrors with the hope that Mr.Dinger would not find me and do my other side.

Inside. Yes I got inside and went to the loo, just incase I didn't find another for a few hours. It looked really nice and there were a few cleaning ladies buzzing around. The cubicle was filthy. I had to roll my trousers up to my knees as you do in Doha airport to avoid 'sponging' up the floor with them. And there were worse items lying around aswell. Perhaps there could be some public awareness program on TV explaining what these huge bins in public restrooms are for.....WHAT? you are not with me? OK.....sanitary pads have a sticky side so they adhere to your panties so they don't flip out of your knickers as you hop onto the escalater. The sticky strip is NOT to attach them to the back of the bathroom door after use....no no no....naughty naughty. Cos guess what? the cleaning lady does not look behind the door. So after a mammoth cleaning task I set out to see the rest of the mall.

I found flies. Lots of flies. I was in despair and went to St.Moritz cafe next to skidubai. It was lovely. I was excited. I got seated. Yummy...ashtrays...goody goody, I can have a smoke too. Menu arrives. no food. HUH. She said food will be on the menu tomorrow. Shucks, after my cleaning job I was in need of some form of nutrition. I chose the hot chocolate since I was pretending I was at the slopes. It was lovely. I burnt my tongue on it in a desperate bid to drink it before the flies did. I smoked a few aswell, but no use. The flies were here to stay. Waitress said pest control had been spraying all night. Now I know what happened to their food.

Off I went to Ronalds for some minced chicken knuckles. They had no running water so various drinks were off the menu. I never knew (DUH) that they filled their coke machines from the tap....ugh. I overheard in the food court that pest control are still on their way to the mall...aha....at least the bathroom cleaner had arrived.

Ok, last chance to find something yummy. I found it. Marble slab ice cream...........it looked like my kind of place. Without much thought I chose the rocky road in a cone. This has to be the closest to heaven (with some flies of course). I Love all the mini marshmallows in rocky road. don't you? well don't go there. Half way through, and no sign of a white dot. I dug and delved with my tongue until i felt the spongy texture of the long awaited mallow. Yes THE mallow. ONE huge marshamallow. As i sucked on it, the whole lot came out of the cone, down my shirt and was covered in a layer of flies within seconds.

Thats it. Back to Meena Bazaar for me.
