Living here, though, is the chance of a lifetime. I want to learn more about this culture about which not much seems to be known in the west. I want the opportunity to travel to places that I have only seen in movies and dreamed about. There is so much world out here ~ and I want to see as much of it as I can.
So, here I am in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Living in the middle of the desert, experiencing a new culture, and finding it difficult to call for delivery since I don't even have an address!! But things are shaping up! I can direct the Pizza Hut guy to my apartment in the sand, and I have made a home out of my echoing apartment.
Here's my living room ~
And a view of my kitchen from the living room...
... and from the doorway:
Here's my dining room ~
And the adjoining guest bathroom ~
My bathroom is pretty similar ~
And my sanctuary ~
Here with my new shelves!!!
And here is the view from my dining room window ~ see, I really do live in the desert!!! You can also see one of the 'villas' across the street from my apartment.
Luckily, our building comes equipped with a rooftop pool!
