Once in a lifetime! Thanks for sharing pics. More plz. Its a grown up persons Willy Wonka factory. (Im not grown up yet) How did you get this opportunity, I remember your origional post I think it was just a vacation if so do you mind telling us your bare costs, flight, and hotel. Or if youre like N8 what did the motel cost lol. Give us a lil more, do you speak only english was it hard to travel around there? Im sure Im not the only person who would like your opinion and overall adventure. Its a pipe dream for me but its the number 1 place Id like to visit if cash was no option. Sure I could find other peeps opinions online but you being from cali and having a ford liking, Id prefer yours.

Lol...I went out there for business. Plane ticket (business class) was 17k from SFO to Dubai, Dubai to Jakarta, and Jakarta to SFO. The suite at the hotel was 2k for 4 days.
Dubai is crazy off the hook. Most people speak English there. You can drink at hotel's and disco's (clubs). Ummm its like Las Vegas...minus the gambling.
Dubai is number one on my list of places to return to. I have a few distributors out there, so i definitly want to go again.
Jakarta (pics coming) was a shithole.

Thats no joke, while I was their I saw THREE Bugatti Veyron's (although one might have been the same one twice).
My distributor also gave me a watch as a gift (I guess its the thing to do out there). He gave me a Romain Jerome Moon Dust-DNA watch. Crazy shit.
