This Lake Isn't Real.

Another photo for Rachel to guess, and this one I took at night.
She describes what she sees. Tall towers, a lot of lights, water, and a small boat with people in it. It looks like the sea, but it's a lake, and the lake isn't real. Somebody built it. All around it there are restaurants and cafés, and people everywhere.
Rachel loves water. Just looking at it calms her down when she's stressed, and I'm the same with any water. When you're standing there, you forget the lake was built. I didn't get on the boat, by the way. I just watched it.
Then the guessing. The towers made her think of Dubai straight away, and from there she got the exact spot. I took the photo right next to the Burj Khalifa, the tallest tower in the world, beside Dubai Mall, one of the biggest malls in the world. Dubai likes to have the biggest of everything.
I also asked her what comes to mind when she thinks of Dubai.
Next time, Rachel brings the photos and I guess.
