A whole team of guys turned up with bags of curtains and large power drills - within 2 hours all the windows were suitably clothed and I felt a lot happier. While I am now living on the 25th floor so are a lot of other people and with all the glass in the apartments it can feel like living in a goldfish bowl.
It has also had the nice effect of making the apartment feel much more "homey" - and I am even starting to thing of Dubai as home. I have been here exactly one month and looking back I have manage to achieve a great deal:
1. I am now a UAE resident
2. I hold a UAE driving license
3. I have a UAE bank account
4. I have moved all my furniture from the UK to the UAE
5. I have been on Dubai radio and even made into the local IT Weekly
6. I have visited a whole new continent (Africa)
7. I have brought a new car (my first time ever and subject of a forthcoming blog)
8. I have a non-censored UAE internet connection (Thank you DIC Telecom)
Overall I am feeling much more settled and am looking forward to the weather cooling down a little so I can go and explore more of this great country.
Aaron,
ReplyDeleteV. nice but you need to lose those dangly wires!
Jealoous of Farnborough (a.k.a. Terry J.)
PS I like the Ekorness furniture, very similar to our lounge believe it or not :-)
Yeah dangly wires are always a pain - I am currently devising a plan on how to hide them without making more holes in the wall.
ReplyDeleteNice spot on the Ekorness - which range have you got?
Well done - I don't know if anyone not in this region would appreciate the effort that it takes to get all that stuff done!
ReplyDeleteNice place :) Glad u're settled in.
ReplyDeleteAaron,
ReplyDeleteI think they are a Mayfair and Kensington (his 'n' hers sizes!) They are about 6 years old now, nicely worn in! We have a non-reclining sofa, don't want guests getting too comfortable now do we? :-D
Terry
Your place looks awesome, we'll have to come for a visit :o)
