Pack me in a box and call me "Nermle"...

If you missed that last reference it's from Garfield...but anyway, really I went to Abu Dhabi yesterday. Simone and I took the bus there from Dubai. It was very interesting. There is a ladies only section in the front of the buses so even tough the buses were crowded we got to sit together. Most other people travelling were business men. Most of the people out walking around are men. Its a very different culture. Especially in Abu Dhabi is is mostly only men that are out in public. Anyway, we had a good time in Abu Dhabi (we went there and back in the same day). It was a two hour bus ride. The weather was really nice and the sky was clear. The sea was beautiful too - it looked tropical almost it was so bright blue. We went to the Marina Mall there. It was really modern - we ate lunch from Starbucks, Burger King and Sabarro. The only real difference was that when they said spicy chicken sandwich they meant it. We went walking on the marina after shopping for a while. It was great. Hopefully I'll figure out how to down load some pictures soon.
I am getting a bit homesick. Mostly its just wierd not to have a job and not to have an answer to the question "What do you do?" I dont do anything. I am just here, or there or wherever. A leech of the world. It is hard to be constantly openminded. Usually when I'm in my own setting it is easier to be open minded because I only have to be challenged every once in a while, but in surroundings and cultures that are constantly changing it is more challenging to me. Looking at the next new food I have to eat is exciting some of the time, but then something familiar sounds so much more comforting. (As I type I am eating a Twix bar, the first chocolate I've had in dayyyyys! It is oh so good Ok, that's all for now. Love you and miss you guys
