Welcome to Dubai Shopping

Christmas in the UAE

The Abu Dhabi Marina: A favorite spot for relaxing and shopping!

Desert Glory: Abu Dhabi has beautiful greenery in parks and along walkways.

View from Bedroom window. UAE is a big construction site!

Who has time?

Blogging is nice but somehow I find it hard to keep up--with all the wikis, emails, and other virtual messaging systems I wonder just how to make the most use of these tools. Here in UAE, somehow with all the people and fast tracking one looks for a way to get away not get in touch. I do see value as educational tool but discussion boards can serve the same purpose. It is a Saturday morning, hazy day, sound of construction outside my bedroom window, people scurrying to the mosque or to the Corniche for a brisk walk along the Arbian Gulf before the dead of heat sets in. I graded papers and worked on planning final exam/grades to end the semester. Then I will go home for summer break to USA. Soon I will start to write really interesting stuff so keep coming back - you never know.
