It was my first time to the middle-east, so i was a bit excited when i got into the plane heading for Dubai. The trip came super last minute, only got to know barely 2 days before that i will be travelling to Dubai. Since i will be here for 3 months for my training, and i have less than 2 days to prepare .... i just basically stuff everything i could into my bags and hope that i will not miss out anything ... and the next thing i know, here i am at Dubai.
Dubai basically is a city build on a dessert .... if there is no building or road around, it will be sand .... very little greenery compared to back home at Malaysia ... most of the plant here are either grass or palm tree ... i think they are the only plant that can actually survive the harsh condition here .... not to mention that it hardly rains here .....
I am staying at Golden Sands 10, a service apartment located at Bur Dubai .... quite a good place as there are a few shopping malls around at walking distance ... and some shops over the highway ... but the only setback is that it is 1 hour away from my training school ... which means that during weekdays, i will need a longggggggg and boring journey for training .... and even tough the have like a 4 lanes highway here .... most of the time, the traffic is still bad ....
If we Malaysian think that we are a multi-racial, multi-ethnic country ... wait until you see Dubai ... they have so many kind of people here .... from the taxi driver to my training school
staff .... i can hardly tell where the majority of the people from .... but most of them are not from here .... according to my friend .... more than half of the population here are foreigners .... a big portion of them working in either the Oil & Gas or the construction industry ......
I will be going to be here for a while .... and i hope my stay here will be a enjoyable one .....
