Our Trip away to Dubai

We the weekend just been Jen and went to Dubai for the weekend. It was a long weekend because school was having a friendship festival on the Saturday. We had helped out at all of the events so far so we skipped this one. We Even got to use our air miles to pay for the trip. We stayed in a nice 3 star hotel near the river. On the first day we went to the largest mall in the world. The mall of the emirates. The one with the indoor snowfield, we didn't go on this though. We wandered around and bought a few things.

The next day we went to the Wild Wadi. A water theme park. It was really fun and it was even better as there were no lines. On one ride and straight on to the next.
Later that night we started the mission to get pork ribs...
We had been getting a taxi from close to get the hotel. However I thought that we could a boat across the river then catch a taxi there. It only took about an hour to get the taxi. We got to El Paso a nice little bar/ restaurant. AND they had pork ribs YES...
And the were great. Getting home didn't take long apart from a bit of a traffic jam while in a taxi.

Then we checked out of our hotel and hung out at a mall, where I got some new running shoes (one of the main reasons for me to go there).

Then off back to the MIGHTY Doha. It was a nice trip where we had a nice break.

Billboard Lights

Well today I was walking down the academic walk way and heard 3 loud explosions. I then thought I need to see if there were any kids out there. I ran to the end of the walkway and found that there were no kids out there.There was a massive cloud of thick black smoke. We all thought the worst as there is a gas station right where it was coming from. Thank goodness it wasn't. It just turned out to be the gas tanker that went around the corner too fast and toppled over and the spark of the crash set it on fire. We don't know about the driver...

Grease at asd

Mark and I went to see the production Grease that was performed by mainly expats from Doha. A lot of our friends from school were in it so it was a real laugh to see them up there. We had a great night with friends and enjoyed seeing Nic in what looked like red undies although was supposed to be “track shorts”. They all did a great job. We even went to Johnny Rockets for dinner before hand to fit with the Grease theme.

Sandstorm here we come

Today we had our first sandstorm. It turned out that I was in Jenny's class at the time and i happened to look outside and the sky and air was bright orange. First up i thought have we been attacked. I then went to window and could see that it was just a whole lot of sand. It was crazy. We are all safe and well. It is just under 24 hours since i noticed it but the storm is still cranking... it could be an interesting weekend inside to stay away from all the sand in the air.

I just found this awesome website.
I was having a play and made this.
