Yes. Really.
Honestly, what were they thinking?
Just because a ski slope in the desert isn't weird enough, this was taken from a table in the world's biggest Cheesecake Factory restaurant.
I think that about sums Dubai up.

A few years ago, in order to save the rest of my knee, I had to give up skiing. Skiing, I loved it so much, and then it was the first thing I had to let go. There, in the midst of moaning, I saw the powerful lesson:
To give up skiing because my knee was ruined was no problem at all, it was the only intelligent solution. To not give up my clinging to the sensations of skiing was a problem.
By clinging to something we like we refuse to accept one of the most fundamental laws of Nature: Things change, and these changes have a principal direction, they follow the merciless Second Law of Thermodynamics, which creates what physicists call Entropy. The universe is governed by processes that relentlessly transform physical things from order to lesser order, from pattern to amorphousness, from concentration to delusion, from higher to lower energy. Eggs break, paint peels, ice melts, skin wrinkles, and knees go kaput. It happens by itself and all the time, no matter what, it’s the law, no exceptions, like gravity, you can’t bargain with it, it’s always there.
There is nothing wrong with liking, it’s the clinging that ruins everything. By holding on, by resisting the inevitable change we set ourselves up for suffering.
And this damn clinging is just a conditioned response, a habit, an entirely impersonal phenomenon, something we unknowingly picked up by mistake. We are blueprinted to form habits, in many ways they make us survive, but they also make us suffer. The terrific thing is: we not only have the attribute of building habits, we also have the capacity of being aware of them. And this is the magical key for the solution. We ultimately do have the final say about the carrying out of our habits, we are free to disobey.
I not only learned to ski but also learned to let it go again. Like day and night, like life and death, these things belong together. When we hang on we suffer.
Good practice, indeed.
