Helen in Dubai 2 – In the footsteps of Ibn Battuta


Jiko in the Indian Court, Ibn Battuta Mall, Dubai

This is to proof that not only movies can have sequels. Helen can have one too. Anyway, Happy New Year! We don’t have photos of our recent adventures yet, so I’m putting past photos for viewing. These were taken exactly one year ago, when she was baby sitting little Justin.

Ibn Battuta, by the way, was a famous adventurer from the Middle East in the 12th century, in the likes of Marco Polo. He travelled further than Marco Polo.

Jiko and Admiral Zheng He (Laksamana Cheng Ho) - This mall in Dubai pays tribute to the well-known seafarer although he had never set foot in Dubai. Compare this to some of us in Malaysia, who'd prefer to remove him altogether from our history books. ...Sad
