About Me

My photo
I'm a 22 year old college kid, who is going to be spending summer '11 in Abu Dhabi, UAE in an internship. I'm also planning a wedding in November, and graduating college in December with a bachelors degree in History and a Minor in Arabic Studies. I have no clue what I want to do with my life as of right now. Maybe grad school one day... who knows. I do know that I have the most amazing and supportive family, fiance, and friends ever! and I am SO thankful for them!

The Tulip Inn/Al Rahba Days 4 & 5

Sorry for not updating yesterday, the internet was not cooperating so I gave up and went to bed!

Day 4

Yesterday we just stayed around the Tulip, and didn't really venture out.

Day 5

Today was the most interesting by far, we went to IKEA (the one here is way more awesome than the one in Houston!) and had lunch/did a little shopping.  Then after we got back we took some clothes to the cleaners across the bridge in Al Rahba, and I finally drove! Although it's pretty terrifying to drive here, they drive like maniacs! But we got there and back in one piece, and no close calls so I'd call it a good trip. :)

I finally tried some ice cream, it's definitely different but still really good.

I also had my first experience in washing stuff by hand, since there are some things you cannot take to the place that does your laundry.  That was not so fun.

Today has been, all in all, pretty chill.  Also, over the past couple of days I have gotten the chance to read for fun, which never happens anymore. So that's been nice.

Tomorrow will, hopefully, a little more exciting!

Love,
Brittany
