The UAE is definately on my wish list as places to visit.

Yea, I saw that show and was pretty amazed. They absolutely LOVE the game (at least the 20-30 arabs that were playing it), and they couldn't wait to get back on the ice. They all arrived in Arabic robes and headdresses with tiny sandles on, and the next thing you know they are taking slapshots.
The crowd's seats were all made of gold and persian rug. Awesome place. Alot safer than it should be apparently. I got a buddy that's parents go there a couple times a year. (they live in Saudi on business)
