Abu Dhabi
Hey Guys,
It's been 2 months since we moved to Abu Dhabi.
When we first arrived it was all prettty awesome. No money, no food (except for bread and milk in the fridge) and the haunting call to prayer first thing in the morning.
We got our money changed, bought some food...y'know all the good stuff, Pringles, Pepsi and cheese, some seasame bread sticks and kitkats.
My first major spinout was shopping. Just walking along looking around and all of a sudden I have a coven of black clad women behind me...whoa!
It's cool...now, hehe.
We had to get around in cabs, pretty cheap to do, but sometimes it gets weird.
The dudes get annoyed when they have to go out of the CBD, the Cab Base rings them to see where they are going...like to justify why they are leaving the CBD, how many people they have, how long they are going to be etc. I might be wrong but it happens every time we go home from a major mall.
Driving is like riding your bike...just go wherever you want...lanes and speed limits are only suggestions...
The mall were great for a while...but they dont have anything I want .
Ok a computer shop, Virgin Megastore, thats about it...a Sports shop with a Specialized Sirrus, Specialized Centrum or a Rocky mountain Metropolis pushy.
We gave everything away before we came here and it's taken us 2 months to get it all back...even counting a car!!! Honda CRV, Green, GPS, Sunroof and 2 free Bellydancers for Husband (that's me... hehe).
And we still haven't run out of money...
Weird
