Happy New Year!!

I think it has finally sunk in.. a little.. maybe! haha.

The place I'm staying at is actually pretty nice and  has alot of different people here. The Jordanian soccer team is practicing/training here, and then there is a group of students from Michigan on a 2 week exchange and they are taking 2 credits or something while they are here. I think there are maybe 18 people from waterloo dubai here on res, but they aren't all here yet.

There is a bus that goes to the mall (one of three different ones) every night .. which could be dangerous :D, but very convenient!

In the afternoon we went to the gold souks and food market (spices and stuff). To get there we went over the Dubai creek in traditional wooden boat that just has a bench in the middle called an abra. I definitely thought someone would fall in the water, I don’t see how nobody does.

We went to geant at night to get grocceries and I found my new favorite food.. date biscuts. i also found out that absolutely everyone wants to do their grocceries at 9:30 pm at night aswell.

I actually start work tomorrow but we have no ideaa how we are getting there.. thats a problem to deal with in 7 hours though
