Global Village!

Yesterday (Friday December 20,2008) I went to this awesome place called Global Village. It is basically a giant place, the area is about 1 mile long filled with markets from around the world. Like there's this section (as big as a supermarket) called China. Its suppose to have stuff,people,and food from China! So you can go to China and get some noodles at the restaurant's or some Chinese furniture! There is a lot of country's in Global Village such as India,Iraq,Morocco,Kuwait,Syria,Saudi Arabia,U.A.E,Jordan,Egypt,Bahrain,Qatar,Oman,Europe,Nepal,Iran,
Afghanistan,Senegal,Pakistan,and many more! So you can go to India and buy some of their fine cloths or maybe go to the continent Europe and get some Football/Soccer equipment. One of the things I bought was some writings of the ancient "Hieroglyphics" on the original "papyrus." Specially imported from Egypt. You can try all the food you like and visit the carnival they have their, the carnival there has rollercoasters,bumper cars,merry-go'rounds,arcades,and cotton candy stands too! You also ride camels and horses and even go to the Guinness World Records Studio. For the little kids they can meet Barney,Pingu,Bob the builder and more! It is a world filled with countries and places which you can visit in one day! We stayed there for 6 hours and it was awesome!

The Roads of U.A.E

The United Arab Emirates is a wonderful place and I love it. Except that the roads there have lots of construction and road blocks. So basically on a GPS they will tell you to go somewhere and on your way theres a road block, a lot of people have complained about this and its not that smart. They should put a sign warning about this earlier and then we could at least take a detour. In this country its a nice place with 7 star hotels and parks but here they don't take care of the roads! On the way to my school you have to go on a normal fine road then all of a sudden theres a "T" path and the T path is not a road but it is a rocky desert and there is no stop signs and there are no lights, plus there are three different roads connecting there that need to cross! Its chaos! especially cause most drivers here drive pretty fast. Not that fast but fast enough to make it hard to brake! When they brake you'll here an "eeeekkkkk!" A lot of accidents acquired there! But I think the people are noticing so hopefully everything will be fine. NO WORRYS! :)

Camel Riding on the Beach!

Guess What? I went camel riding on the Ajman beach at Sharjah, U.A.E! There was this guy who had a camel and you have to pay $10 for each child and $20 for the adults! So me and my mom rode the camel while my dad took pictures. first when getting on the camel you had to grip on the holder or you will have a terrible fall. It was shaky and kind of scary in the beginning but once we were on the move I got comfortable. My mom was a bit scared about this and was like WOOOOH every once and a while but it was a great experience! I'll put the pictures on a separate post cause I need to put the photo's on here. It will be here in three or so days...be patient.

Golfing in the U.A.E

The golf course here in the U.A.E (United Arab Emirates) is giant and nice for the public compared to the Knickerbocker golfing area in America. Its nice and spacious and I got a ride on their golf cars (the drivers drive fast!.....I rode on the car 2 times on different drivers and they're speed demons...of course it was bumpy!). Well the point is its a reasonable price for a place with a practice swing area,a club washer, and about all the balls you need. Well its really grassy and green of course but that should be cool for the local Arabs cause Most of the people live on deserts. Im starting my lessons after Christmas! My parents are already learning well!

Raining in U.A.E Way too much!

The U.A.E (United Arab Emirates) has been raining for two days straight and the desert sand that covers the country is turning to mud! Its flooding cause the people don't have a good proper drainage! I think the locals should complain to their ruler which is called the Shakh here. I just went to the pool 5 minutes ago and now is 7:29 and its a thunderstorm. The Arabs should get prepared cause who knows what nature could bring to this dry desert!

Hearthstone

So it seems to be a trend for me, new year, new game. This year brings forth the strategic card game known as Hearthstone. Initially, i tho...
