I remember when a couple of years ago, my family and I went to Dubai for Winter Break, and it was amazing. The weather was perfect (15-20 degrees), people were outside enjoying the holidays. The mall (which is the biggest in the world) was massive. There was actually a fake snow park, where people could Ski, Snowboard, or just enjoy the snow INSIDE THE MALL! But that's not all. The mall boasts some amazing features such as a 10,000 litre-aquarium (one of the biggest in the world), a hockey rink, and a 76,000 square ft theme park. The real attraction to me though were the New Year fireworks. When it comes to celebrating New Year, no one is even on the same planet as Dubai. Their fireworks were absolutely amazing and it was definitely high up on the list on one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in my life. I remember how we were on the streets which were packed and I remember looking around and seeing so many people from so many different places around the world, it was truly a gathering of different cultures. Strangers were greeting strangers they've never met before from the other side of the world. This truly teaches the significance of events such as these for the fact that amidst today's generation of hatred and fear, it can play a huge role in bringing people of different cultures and ethnicity's together as a whole, and that is an experience on its own.
