Getting organized

Spinneys grosery store (withe a new offive complex in the back).

Finally I feel I am getting organized here in Dubai. Today my car arrived, which I am gonna share with a polish electrician. It dosen't take you long to understand that a life in Dubai without a car is hopeless - a car is crusial if you are staying here over a longer period of time. Yesterday evening I drove to ther nearest grosery store and shopped everything I neede for the apartment; from milk and bread to detergent and dish brush. Here is a picture of my fantastic grey Mazda.

Ususlly, when I have had a long and exhausting day at work and I am short on time, the easiest way of having dinner is calling room service. In 15 minutes the meal is served in the apartment for the rediculous price of 15 Dhirams (28 kroners). It is hard to even coock a cheaper meal your own apartment for that price.

I also had to try out the camel milk! The brand "Camelicious" was just to inviting that I could resist. It actually did not taste that far from cow milk, only slightly sweeter. If you want to practice some arabic you can read the back of this Ritz-package :)
