Is Millenium Airport green?
I have been staying at Le Meridien Airport frequently over the past year, but when going to book my next trip, their rates have skyrocketed to well over $400 for the dates I just checked. I like staying near the airport for early flights out, and was considering Millenium instead of Meridien this trip. I have seen conflicting reports regarding Millenium's greed / red policy. Would really appreciate it if anyone has any recent intelligence on the status there.
Some early places. A report
So I don't post often as I'm basically semi-retired these days, haven't picked up a girl from a bar in years and mostly stick to AMP's with the typical results so rarely post about them unless something interesting happens.
Well, my friend is in town and he fancies a bit of mischief so I figured I'd take him around to see the sights relying on my old knowledge given I haven't even RTFF in awhile. It was around 5pm so I knew it was going to be slim pickings but I picked the two usual suspects for earlier play to see what we could find.
First off, jockies. Used to stop by for a quick afternoon session back in the day, so decided to give it a try. The stable was very weak indeed. Decent enough number of girls but the mostly sub-par PRC and 2-3 africans, and some straight babushkas. I would say two of the PRC were 7's at a top, and both were stuck into candy crush on their phone and spent rebuffed every guy who approached, so we were about to leave when a beautiful stani of some sort walked in wearing casual cloths (jeans & t-shirt) and me and my friend both instantly fell in love and swooped in to see what's what. She was just giving some cash to a friend and wasn't on the clock, but gave me her phone number for a day that wasn't her day off. No idea what price or deal was as she seemed a bit in a rush, but very good english and seemed very happy for the attention so this is a "we will see". We bailed after that and headed to the other known early spot I used to haunt, the Broadway hotel.
Now the club in there was renovated like a year ago and I haven't been in since so wasn't sure what I'd find. We walked in the door and I headed to the can and by the time I came back, my friend paid the ludicrous entry fee of 100 aed each, NO DRINKS, to enter basically an empty club. I started arguing with the door guy for money back when a group of 7's and 8's walked in and hooked our arms, which ended the brewing conflict early. Beautiful girls with only one of them being fluent in english, doing the chatting for the rest. Turns out there all from Moldovia.
After a good 15-20min of small chat and drinking some beers, she pressed the issue of closing a deal and we got to the numbers (beers were fucking 40aed, this place sucked). Started at 1000 AED for ST. I laughed heartily, grabbed my friend and started heading for the door but he stopped to press the issue as he was in love with one particularly innocent looking girl. After prolonged negotiation it was settled for a 2 hour session for fucking 800 AED. She absolutely wouldn't budge for that so we decided to bail and chalk it up to a loss but his little head got the better of him as soon as we hit the lobby, and he pivoted and snatched her.
I live a good 40 minutes from Diera so the ride home was a bit awkward as she started getting pretty nervous about the extremely long cab ride. Her english was pretty basic and any attempts at small chat were very stunted and unpleasant, mostly ending in "I don't understand". She showed her passport, literally arrived at 7pm the previous day so she was fresh off the boat.
Getting to my place, I realized I didn't have any hats as, well, haven't needed one in awhile and she didn't have any either. So being the good host, I ducked out to the pharmacy while they played which ate into the agreed "ST". Came back and they disapeared into the bedroom only for her to come out fully dressed 20 minutes later, asking for a cab. So much for 2 hours. Maybe if she was counting the cab time? Tried to ask about the remaining time but again, english was poor and my friend didn't seem to care. She then got very anxious about the prospect of a cab ride across Dubai alone and begged my friend to accompany her all the way back to the hotel. I categorically said no, out of the question, ridiculous. Cabs are perfectly safe here and the cabby will know where her hotel is, but she was visibly shaken so my friend agreed to do it (stupid!) and I went to bed.
Report this morning was that sex was surprisingly passionate and personal which is (his line) why he didn't last long, but there was no discussion of staying for a second pop or anything. Session ended when the condom was full. The total damage for the trip to broadway was 200 AED entrance fees. 120 AED for beers (3!).160 for cab fair, and 800 for the quicky. Absolutely ridiculous! Scolded my friend for being such a love struck puppy but what can you do, fucking tourists.
So while there is indeed some "talent" at broadway, this new broadway sucks ass, and not in a good way. So give it a miss unless you've got more money than sense. Hoping to find some better value over the next few days, and will report back. Until then, out.
