Everything is large in Dubai, impressions from my first visit and asparagus salad with scallops and jumbo prawns

What a city – I spent the last three days in Dubai visiting my old friend Birgit and her family.

Everything here seems to be of larger size and proportions – whether the stretch Hummer

or the tallest building of the world

or the largest aquarium in a shopping mall

Even if you fancy skiing while and shopping in the same mall this is the place to be

And the prawns we had for dinner were the largest I have ever tried – delicious. Thanks Birgit, we will be back!
