Luxurious Lounging – Monte Carlo Beach Club Abu Dhabi
For some time I have been wanting to spend a day at this beautiful looking beach club. However, it’s a bit on the expensive side to get a sun lounger or a cabana for the day. Since I decided not to go anywhere during this holiday and had set aside just a bit of money…

Oddities in the Desert
[shashin type=”photo” id=”7459″ size=”medium” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”] It’s been a very strange year in the desert with the weather and shakings of the earth. It really makes me wonder what is going on in the environment and if perhaps the true end times are near (if you believe in that kind of thing). For the…

TESOL Arabia 2013 Weekend
Just posting some pics from our weekend shenanigans…. It was a nice couple of days away from AD. I should really try to make it to Dubai more often…. [shashin type=”album” id=”66″ size=”medium” crop=”n” columns=”max” caption=”y” order=”date” position=”center”]

Playing the Victim
For some time I’ve been playing in my mind about this topic and wondering how I could write about it clearly so that it made sense – even to me. One of the things I dislike the most about living in the UAE is the fact that I am constantly ‘pursued’ by the male gender.…

Negative Motivation
First, sorry for the font changes. I wanted to change it, but can’t seem to find one yet that quite fits…. So, there may be still more changes until I find it. 🙂 This week has been…both good and bad. I had yet another run-in with management people and seem to just be sealing my…

ADFF 2012
It’s hard to believe yet another year of the film festival was upon us. With all of the busyness going on, I wasn’t even sure about attending any films as I can barely stay awake past 8pm during the weekdays. In past years, I’ve gone from attending around 10 films over the week-long festival to…

Randomness…
I have a few thoughts mulling around, but no time at the moment to get to writing on it… So, instead, here are some photos from life here in the crazy Dhabs! [shashin type=”photo” id=”6243,6242,6241″ size=”small” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”]

Busy Fall Start
It’s been a very busy start to the fall and new academic year. One of the reasons is because the major government higher education institutions were required to implement the use of iPads. This came about at the end of the last academic year, but the fun really began when we came back for this…

Kayaking in the mangroves
Kayaking in the mangroves has been an activity that seemed fun to try and with the cooler weather, it’s a good time of year to do it. Before MJ arrived, Groupons had a deal for a kayaking tour and so R got us coupons for it. The location is not far from our apartment, which…
