oobi doobi - dubai

I'm at my parents place in the great fast paced city of Dubai.. yes, not surprisingly with not much to do at this hour.. while dubai might be a great place to shop and stay for a week or two, i keep telling myself how i'd hate to live here. Everything is expensive, and to really live life, and have fun would burn a crater in the deepest of pockets. At least that's what i think.

After cruising around almost every night with my cousin, and stopping at most malls and buying at least one article of clothing (if not many many more) i keep asking myself what else is there to do? Apart from:

  • shop @ malls
  • eat @ restaurant and/or in malls
  • have coffee or a drink in malls
  • cinema (in malls)
  • go cruising (around the malls)

I'm not so sure if clubbing is an option since the age limit here is supposedly 21, and i haven't been to more than 1 club. Not so sure if they'd let people in purely on the basis of looking "old enough".

Anyway, my cousin is leaving to go back to Oman.. and since my other cousin is having a birthday bash im expected to go.. so i am :) and after the weekend, will be coming back to Dubai to chill with the folks. A couple of days later, i'll be in Oman yet again.. but this time to stay, until my flight back to Canada. The holidays are almost at an end. Darn.

playin catch-up

soo it's been a while since my last post.. i've been waiting till my friends get back so i can post some cool pictures, but i haven't been bothered to do that much lately.
Ok well to catch-up.. i went on holiday to Zanzibar, n it was really really nice.. we had a few salfa's pop up during the trip, but other than that i really liked it.
I got the chance to just get away from the world and chillax.. that's what a real holiday's about. No phone calls, no connections to the world.. i was just left with my own thoughts. Friends were there too, and i liked just being with people my own age, who kind of think the same way i do.. or at least with the same mentality. Since i don't know alot of those people in uni it felt great to just be on the same wavelength with people again.

To start off with, the house had no TV, so we couldn't just veg. infront of it and we were basically left to be entertained some other way. I actually liked that!! We'd play Boggle and Pictionary.. and go to the bars just to watch the worldcup.
The house is right on the beach too, so i'd just sit on the porch and take everything in, the cold breeze, the waves, the colours of the sea, the beautiful white sand.. i really liked it.
Although i think it'll be a long while till i go back there again, but at least i had a good holiday.
Pictures to be posted soon!!
- I'm also slowly getting adjusted to contacts.
