Weekend in Dubai
I was away from my computer and Abu Dhabi this weekend, so I could not really post. It was a nice 24-hr break away from the crazy realities of life these days. When we were in Bali everyone was keen to organize a monthly get-together when we were all back in the UAE to keep…

Swan Lake
Ballet is a mysterious part of my life. In my second adoptive family, I used to take ballet lessons. My crazy mother at the time was really into “Flashdance” and perhaps had some dream that I would become her surrogate dancer or something. In any case, I did fall in love with ballet, but due…

Dubai
What’s a visit to the UAE without a stop in Dubai? We took MJ for an overnighter in Dubai; stopping to see all the necessary places. I didn’t get as many pics as she did, so will have to wait for them, but here are some highlights: Burj Al Arab Tip of Burj Khalifa…

Dubai Day 21
One more day…. More of the same on Wednesday – had to finish studying. I managed to get caught up and a bit ahead in one course. So, I shouldn’t have to worry about it while I am in NYC. I have readings to take with me for the second course, but the tasks can…

Dubai Day 20
Only two more days left…. 🙁 Unfortunately, Tuesday was all about getting studying done. I plowed through another module (unit) in my “Discourse in Professional and Organizational Contexts” course. It’s not my favorite I have to admit, but it has interesting bits here and there. I started a module that I should have finished last…

Dubai Day 19
My days will be very quiet for the next few left in Dubai. For Monday (Day 19), I ended up getting up fairly early since we did go to bed around 9:30pm. Allan has caught a cold or something, so hasn’t been so energetic the past couple of days. So, on Sunday night, we relaxed,…

Dubai Day 18
Ah, the time is flying. Yesterday was my Ski Dubai day. It is an amazing experience to ski/snowboard in the middle of the desert. I almost forgot that it was actually hot outside. The Ski Dubai slope is located in the Mall of the Emirates, which is a 40 dirham taxi ride from Allan’s apartment.…

Dubai Day 17
🙁 Only 5 more days left…. Today was a lazy day of sleeping in, cleaning house, doing laundry and watching James Bond on the TV. I was quite tired after yesterday, so I took an afternoon nap. Finally in the late afternoon, we made it out of the house. Allan was in search of a…

Dubai Day 16
Once upon a time, a dude named Juha and his friend Sinbad got stranded on an island and the beautiful location seemed a great place to make an entertainment zone for people to come and enjoy the water rides they had created. Thus, is the condensed legend of Wild Wadi – Dubai’s famous water park!…
