I don’t know why you’re so triumphant about this link. It’s exactly what I wrote – without recourse to any research about the price of drinks in Dubai. Hotel bar and minibar prices don’t differ according to country, but according to hotel standard.

I should have mentioned it. But quite frankly, sometimes I miss the fact that what should be obvious is not obvious in Malta.
