Chilled out at -6 degree celsius

It was the first time, I was exposed to the temperature of -6 degree Celsius and it was really an awesome experience. Well, I didn't go to Antarctica but just to the Chillout Bar in Dubai. The place was completely frozen and everything there was made of ice. We were given a good thick fur jacket and gloves before entering in to the freezing zone but they could help only a little. I could stay there only for 40 minutes and had to come out twice to bring down my body to little normal temperature and avoid myself from freezing.

All the stuff in the bar was made of ice - the tables, chairs, glasses, show pieces etc. There was also a flower pot made of ice. Even the menu was a thick ice sheet and glasses for cold drinks were made of ice too. It was good that we got a complimentary hot chocolate which helped us a little. I had gloves on but still my hands were numb after sometime itself. We were clicking each and every corner of the bar. We were picking up each and everything : ice fish, ice stars, ice glasses to have a photo with them.

When you are in such a crazy place, you get to turn little more crazy and we were no exception. We ordered even a cold juice there to add to the chillness of the place. We were touching the ice cubes to our face to take the pic. And the best one came after half an hour. We were done with clicking all the places and objects in the bar. We got rid of our jackets, caps and gloves and came inside just in our normal clothes. We stayed there for around 3-4 minutes in similar state and had a quick round of photos. We were almost frozen to our depths when we ran away outside to the normal desert weather
