my homework

So I am just over a week away from finishing my Arabic class at Eton Institute, it was a special offer for Ramadan and I have to say, apart from being confused a lot of the time, I have really enjoyed learning some of the language as well as a great deal about the culture.

not my job

There is a vacant lot in Tecom that has obviously been used as a parking lot by tenants of the surrounding offices and apartment blocks.

I had to have a chuckle when I drove past the other day - the bulk of the lot has been cleared of tar except for two spots where cars have been parked, and abandoned.

Its going to be a lot more tricky moving these vehicles now don't you agree - I wonder why they didn't just tow them to the side of the street before they started?

Haha!

Ramadan Kareem

To all my readers may this Ramadan bring you joy, wealth and health.

Spinneys, our local supermarket, is carrying some very interesting veg these days.

Anyone know what you do with these two exotic items?

The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority have handed iPhone users a reason to feel smug - Blackberry services (messenger, email and web browsing) will be suspended in the UAE from the 11th October, according to today's sad news.
