Around the emirates

Oh, really?! @katyperry: "Somehow I ended up in Dubai." Is she in transit from Australia? Well, her tweet certainly got our UAE tweeters excited.

If this is what @MSHARIB did to become so creative, we might just have to give it a try: "I am creative.. Say it ten times while looking at a mirror then slap uself hard and then go see a doctor winshala khair".

@FearlessinDubai is taking no chances this Ramadan: "Stock up on Vimto. Those bottles are basically as valuable as currency during Ramadan".

@Mcgiff, we love it too: "Abu Dhabi airport. The cleanest, shiniest airport in the whole world. #loveit".

Promotions

@NouraAlKaabi: "The company producing is based in #Dubai @mashable: Turn Any TV Into a Smart 1 w/ Ths Awesome Gadget http://on.mash.to/NkAkUH via @saifalshaali".

Do something good for yourself this summer with @CoboneAbudhabi: "1 Month Gym Membership & Massage for Dh99 instead of 400 http://t.co/YOdlzpwr".

Why cheat yourself when you can treat yourself? @LivingSocialAE: "We have some amazing deals from Banyan Tree on right now. A perfect mix of luxury, relaxation, and adventure http://t.co/xwhFYSR2".

News

Erm, no, I think we'll pass. @TheNationalUAE: "Another temptation? World's most expensive cupcake goes on sale in #Dubai for Dh3,007 / $1,007".

Let us know what you think of this. @TheNationalUAE: "So is #Dubai's #Salik worth its weight in tolls 5 years on? Good read this, and vote in our poll".

We felt sad, but @shamma_hamdan also said this was just the beginning: "@LifeNationalUAE: Saudi illusionists take Arabs Got Talent title: This season's competition had put Dubai schoolgirl Shamma Hamdan... http://t.co/QDuhDnyL".

Trends

We asked you last week to tell us what you thought of babies in cinemas. Should they be allowed in? Everyone said no!

@mkdubai: "@LifeNationalUAE The only reason parents would want to bring a baby to a cinema is to intentionally annoy other people".

@balyousef: "@LifeNationalUAE babies shouldn't be allowed in theaters, I was about to scream when I saw a 2 month old baby watching X-Men with me!!"

There was only one thing that everyone was talking about on Monday night. You guessed it, #Euro2012.

@AbdallaTaryam: "So they watered the pitch before the match tonight and Spain won 4-0. Xavi was right all along".

@AnasBukhash: "The WHOLE world doing one thing now. Watching the: #Euro2012Final".

@3aibAndTheCity: "The final Euro Cup match is on tonight, and this is how I react: SPAIN (whatever) WOOO GOAL! ITALY *yawn* COME ON!!!! (Ok) *goes to bed*".
