Perhaps you are curious to learn about Dubai tourism and get more information about Dubai before you visit Dubai, the fastest growing tourism destination.


Or maybe you are planning to live or work here and wish to have more Dubai information including Dubai things to do, Dubai sightseeing and, indeed, Dubai facts.


If you have some folks in this part of the world, you are probably considering visiting Dubai and wondering about UAE resorts, the fabulously known Dubai tourist attractions or the exotic vacation in Dubai resorts and best beaches.


Have you heard of Dubai’s amazing Life, Luxury and Adventure as a combined lifetime experience that can be found nowhere else in the world?


I want to tell you all about this and more… I want to prepare you for a truly exhilarating experience in this fastest growing tourism destination of the world where the Nationals move around wearing the traditional dress of UAE, but the life and lifestyle is totally cosmopolitan.


I know you have so many other questions in your mind – and I am going you give all the answers… Questions such as











  • Where is Dubai, United Arab Emirates?

  • How does UAE compare to other Arab and/or Islamic nations?

  • Is there a dress code in Dubai?

  • What are the sports and entertainment facilities?

  • How about United Arab Emirates culture people and society?

  • What is the nightlife scene?

  • Is life safe for a Dubai tourist?




It is no secret today that many international corporate giants have shifted their worldwide headquarters to Dubai, UAE while scores of top celebrities have found an ideal home in Dubai. If you ever wonder what is the business culture United Arab Emirates supports that drives such strategic changes and if you are attracted to consider employment opportunities in UAE, jobs are aplenty here.


But I am told that there are people around the globe who still think that Dubai is just a barren desert with only camels roaming aimlessly - just as the video below suggests.




Yes, it is important to know and realize that the United Arab Emirates is, indeed, originally a desert to be able to truly appreciate and wonder at the transformation that has been brought in merely a couple of decades.



And now...



Does the video below adequately suggest that there is enough for you to do during the daytime as well as after sun-down? It sure does if you know where to head!







First, consider all the right factors and I will give you all the information you desire to be able to do that, there are always nuances that only an insider may know to tell you about so… here are a few examples:

  • What about jobs for women in UAE?




Dubai’s hot deals in real estate , supported by acclamations from national geographic about Dubai’s Burj Al Arab, Palm Island and the like are attracting people from all parts of the world to invest in this growing city. But if the following questions are a concern to you, then you are about to discover all you ever wanted to know about this wondrous desert-city…

Now, maybe you are wondering why on earth you should listen to me… Read on and let me tell you a little about who I am and you will see.


Well, firstly, I have had the pleasure of living in this amazing city of Dubai for almost 15 years now. During these fun-filled years, I have personally witnessed the unbelievable growth of Dubai – phenomenal and unsurpassed growth in economy, tourism Dubai, infrastructure, real estate, education, technology, sports, celebrity visits – the list goes on…, not to mention the huge oil reserves that UAE primarily thrives on.


If you look at the map of United Arab Emirate to see where is Dubai, it is clear how conveniently the place is situated allowing easy access from all parts of the globe. This has also contributed to making Dubai a preferred choice for many, the world-over, be it for taking up jobs, setting up businesses, furthering education plans, buying their dream houses or just to avail a cheap all inclusive holiday to Dubai.


On the other hand, I have personally seen many people landing up in undesired situations and soon wondering whether the grass was merely greener on the other side – all because crucial and critical information was not easily available to them beforehand. Well, if truth be told, I have not only seen but have been subjected to such situations too!


But the fact remains that there are vast attractions in the lifestyle and huge earning potentials await the right set of people who have the answers to what, when, where and how.


Would YOU rather not have all the information handed over to you readily beforehand, rather than cry later over spilt milk?


I am committed to provide comprehensive information to all those who want – extremely useful information that will help people to make informed decisions about their visit or move to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Stress
I feel like I just got the shit kicked out of me.

I got back from my trip at 2:40; trip, overall, was very good. 

While on the bus in the parking lot, I saw the parent of M; M usually has afterschool until 5 or 6, so seeing 'mom' was not a good thing.  I got off the bus, left my suitcase and stuff behind, and ran in.

Inside, I see a little boy laying on a beanbag.  I think it is An.  Then, An walks up to me to show me a picture he's been making, so clearly that's not him.  Who is he? 
Oh, just my new student.  J, but since I already have a J, I'll call him NJ for New J.  Know nothing about him except that he's been here since Tuesday.

How is J doing, btw?  Got written up on the bus again.

And then, at about 2:55, Li comes flying back into the room, livid.  Someone laughed at him and he attacked him in the 2nd grade room, and then Cathy L restrained him to get him out, and he and Kathleen flew back here and he proceeded to kick her, throw things/at me, destroy 2 timers, take everything out of my cabinets, stomp on them, flipped 5 chairs, told me he hated me, threatened the lives of his classmates, and spit. 

Oh, and I have a meeting tomorrow afternoon to officially get T as a student.  HOLY FUCK.

I am leaving this because seeing it in writing is making me start to bawl again.  I am never taking a trip again.  I am never doing ANYTHING again.
 
 
 

   
Realizations...
I've really changed this summer.  Much more than I have ever changed actually.  I experienced so many new things and I've realized some things.

I started off the summer by teaching some grade 12 English and I was channeling Mr. Keating from Dead Poets Society the entire time.  The kids really seemed to respond and they all did well, save for that one girl who didn't show up for the last few days, thus missing out on 30% of her grade.  The day summer school ended, I was on a plane to Scotland.  I didn't know what was waiting for me when I got there but I was ready to face it.  The plan was to spend a week in Scotland, 10 days in England, and a week in Ireland.  I would joke around with my friends before I left, saying that I would find my destiny there.  I found something much better.  I found joy.

Scotland blew me away.  Every time I had planned my trip to the UK in my mind, I had always envisioned walking around in museums and libraries.  I was finally there and I spent the majority of the time hiking through the highlands, looking out over the water, hearing stories about the locals and the bloody history that is marked across the country, drinking with friends until the wee hours of the morning.  It was beautiful and the best moments were the free ones.  The first glimpse of Glencoe was enough to take your breath away.  Watching the salmon jump at Rogie Falls was another moment that will stay with me forever.  I made many friends in Scotland and they all helped me realize something- I can do whatever I set my mind to.  I can take chances and take that ever scary leap of faith.

From there I took the train to England.  It broke my heart to leave Scotland but I knew that I had many more exciting moments ahead.  In Nottingham I stayed with a friend (and got to have a hot shower!!!)and learned about cricket (which is really nothing like baseball in any way).  It was nice to just relax and see a friendly face.  After that, it was off to Cambridge.  Cambridge is a beautiful city.  I truly loved it there.  Walking around the city was fun and I'm really glad that I went punting down the river Cam.  The universities are beautiful and the people there seemed to be nice.  I got lost many times though, and that was a little frustrating.  I managed to find the Catholic church there and went to mass before getting instructions on how to get back to my hotel.  After Cambridge, I took the train to London.  I arrived at Kings Cross, took the Victoria line to my hotel, saw Wicked (which was my favourite thing about London), saw Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, St. Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London, the Tower Bridge, and many other places.  I didn't really enjoy it there though, mostly because I was alone, and partly because the people there don't actually talk to people.  From there, it was off to Oxford.  Oxford is also a beautiful city.  I took a walking tour through the colleges and while it rained for the majority of my time there, I did manage to find something very important/valuable.  I found, in the bottom corner of a little basement bookshop, a 1905 copy of Emma by Jane Austen.  After Oxford, I took the train into Bath.  Bath was my favourite city in all of England.  It's beautiful there and it's safe.  Also, the people there are really nice and helpful.  I experienced as much as I could there, including the theatre, the Roman Baths, the culture, the Jane Austen Centre, the Assembly Rooms, and many other places.  The next morning, I was off to the Bristol airport to catch a flight to Dublin.

Dublin was my second favourite city I visited on my trip, the first being Edinburgh.  Ireland is a beautiful and enchanting country.  Everyone who visits understands why everyone wants to claim a bit of Irish blood.  I took a 5 day tour through the republic of Ireland (there's the ROI and Northern Ireland) and I truly fell in love with the place.  I can't wait to go back.  While I was in England, I saw many beautiful sights but they were all man made structures.  In Ireland, much like it is in Scotland, the beauty is in the natural world, taking your breath away at least once a day.  Our first day saw us walking on the Hill of Tara, amongst sheep and, well, more sheep.  The next day we found ourselves spending the night in Galway, a charming, seaside city, bustling with activity.  We watched Irish dancing at one pub and ended the evening at another, sharing pints and laughing.  I formed some very strong friendships that night.  The next night was in Doolin, home of traditional celtic music.  We all sat around, sipping our pints, while we listened to a few of the locals sing and play.  I wouldn't trade that memory for all the money in the world.  We then went to Killarney and our bonds of friendship strengthened even more in that small town.  When we got back to Dublin, none of us wanted to say goodbye.  I was glad when I ran into a friend from the tour that night, while walking down the street.  I saw some things that blew my mind in Ireland.  I saw the Cliffs of Moher (aka the Cliffs of Insanity in The Princess Bride), I walked in the Atlantic ocean, and I stood on the most western point of Europe, arguing with Kevin, our tour guide, over the correct pronunciation of Newfoundland (he said that because it was discovered by an Irishman, they get naming rights.  I told him that it's my feckin' country.  I get naming rights.  He said, "fair enough.". 

Sadly, all good things must come to an end, and with a heavy heart, I boarded a plane the next morning bound for Canada.

So I learned three important things about myself on this trip, one for each country. 
Scotland- If I try new things and strive to accomplish things, I will find that I (a)like it and (b) will succeed.
England- I can survive on my own and make my way through cities on foot.
Ireland- I'm actually a pretty cool person and I just need to remember to let go and have fun with life. 

Apparently I have come back as a changed person.  I can see it at times but not as much as everyone else does.  All I know is that I'm planning on going back to Ireland next summer.
 
 
   
 

My Mother is Back
Today my mom came back from her trip!

I didn't realize how much I missed her until I realize how long she was gone! (about 2 months) But it seems like she didn't miss me much. When I went to get her at the airport she barely looked at me. She told me to get her luggage. When my baby sister was going to her she smiled like she owned the world and raced to her. I was left behind to get the luggage with my dad. My dad said he could handle it. So I went to give my mom a hug. She didn't hug me back. I understand that. I mean, when I was younger she never really liked physical contact. I spent most of my time with my dad. Because I know he'd hug me back. But I figured this one time she'd hug me back. I mean she hasn't seen me in a while I thought that maybe she'd miss me. If she did miss me, she definitely didn't show it. In fact she almost completely ignored me.

I wish I was little again. She always paid attention to me. She'd give me a hug at least once a week! I really loved it. I wish I was the youngest again. Don't get me wrong. I'm not wishing for my little sister to never have been born. I may say some horrible things about her. But she is,none the less, my younger sister.
Unfortunately,I care for her. I would never want her to be gone.

In my culture the oldest gets the most respect. Whereas the youngest is spoiled. But where does that leave the middle child? What is she/he given? Of course I have been somewhat spoiled 9 years of my life but it wasn't too serious. Now that I am the middle child I will always be compared to either the oldest or the youngest. I will not get as much attention as the youngest or the eldest. So where does that leave me, I wonder? I suppose it will be fine. I'll grow up and forget about this. I'll be fine. I'll just suck it up and move on. Can't get any worst,right? ^_^

Suck it up and move forward. Better things will get to you eventually.

Alice in Wonderland
Hello!
I'm finally back from my rather lovely time in Great Britain. I did an amazing amount of stuff every day there, so it's nice to be able to relax. On my trip I got to finally make my pilgrimage to the site of Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett's shops on Fleet Street. 

More very exciting news! (For me, anyway.) The first official pictures are here of Tim Burton's upcoming 3D movie Alice in Wonderland!!!!!!!!!!! From what I have heard of the story, it is not the same as the book, and concerns Alice returning to Wonderland when she is older. The movie stars many of my favorite actors (Johnny Depp, Alan Rickman, Helena Bonham Carter). Also, Burton and Bonham Carter's two young children, who are very cute, will make a cameo. The film already looks brilliant, and I look forward to the seventh collaboration of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. Better yet, the film will open March 5, 2010, just six days before my birthday, and 20 years since the two of them began working together. Therefore, I plan for my party to be a movie marathon of their films which will commence in going to see Alice in Wonderland. So, here are two pictures of characters from the movie. 

This is (obviously) Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. Isn't he scary? Isn't he awesome? He sort of looks like a handsome, yet deranged clown. I especially like his orange hair and yellow eyes. 

And here is the lovely Ms. Bonham Carter as the Red Queen. She also looks quite bizarre in a really cool away. Her head is digitally enlarged. And apparently, her character is evil.

Tell me what you think of these pictures! Personally, I think the way these characters look is genius.
I'm also going to see Public Enemies pretty soon, so I'll tell you guys how Depp did.
