Dubai Day 02 & 03: Of Pistols and Paints

We woke up pretty early today as we wanted to watch Coroline at 10 am at Festival city. It looked like a good movie, though I slept through most of it. Priya loved it and so did Anuj. After the movie we went for lunch at Caesar’s, an excellent Indian restaurant. The view of Sharjah Corniche from the restaurant is amazing. So after a heavy lunch we headed home for a nice afternoon nap. Later in the evening we headed for Sharjah Golf and Shooting club. This place is amazing, especially its open lounge overlooking the golf course. Loved this place.

This is where we were looking forward to play paintball for the very first time. Indeed it's one of the most interesting things I have ever seen. Paintball is an actual combat style game which is played between two teams. Guns with ammunition consisting of paint balls are used for it. It’s an excellent team building activity. I simply loved the Paintball.

After the Paintball we headed for shooting range. For the first time in my life I fired an actual 0.9 MM pistol. Yes a real one. I tried my hands on Beretta and Czech. The recoil of Beretta for first time was hand numbing. Never expected a real gun to recoil so hard.

Day 03 was more of a rest day. With nothing much to do me and Priya headed for Ansar Mall right next to our house and I bought myself a pair of sunglasses as its absolutely essential in Dubai. Later we had lunch with one of Anuj’s Business Associate at Caesar’s and slept the rest of the day off on the Air Bed.
