Today has been a BORING one. No news from the visa front although I actually don't expect to hear anything until July 20th or so (yes that is is just a random date. :). So I sort through stuff, pretend to list things on ebay, read books and just hang out. This is the first time in 10+ years where I am without a summer job. It is okay, I really wish I had motivation to complete tasks!
Some things I have learned about my new home:
- December 2, 2011 will be the nation's 40th birthday.
- The locals are called Emiratis
- Their currency is pegged to ours at 3.67 USD = 1.00 AUD (or Dhiram)
- The Louvre and the Guggenheim are both opening branch museums
- The UAE is a HUGE shopping destination
Here is a map to see where we will be:
