Thud! Did you hear that? You just landed in Dubai, United Arab Emirates! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Since we got the car last week, M and I stopped running to catch the bus in the morning and instead take the car to work. He drives while I just listen to the radio. Listening to the radio make me feel that I am really living abroad, not in Japan at least as all the DJ’s are speaking in English. 
Every morning since last week, a radio station had been hosting a quiz show and every day, the prize increases. Callers are to answer short general information questions in 60 seconds and whoever gets the most number of correct answers until Thursday this week will get the prize. Prize for grabs up to this morning was 2,100 dirhams (approx. US$572). The first caller just got 7 questions correct and the next caller tomorrow morning will have to beat that.
I love quizzes, I had been participating in quiz shows since I was 9. My first plane ticket was courtesy of a quiz show. The morning quiz show of course excited me so much, especially that I can answer as much as 15 out of 15 questions in 60 seconds on a good day. I am dying to call to participate! But I wonder would I still be calm enough to answer all the questions while I am on the phone just like while I am listening in the comfort of my car?
Here’s some of the quickie questions that the callers failed to answer:
- What country has the capital city of Vienna? (he answered Italy!)
- What does the computer term CPU stand for?
- Who was Britain’s first female Prime Minister?
- Who was Mel Gibson’s sidekick in the movie Lethal Weapon? (he passed)
- Where did the singing group Abba came from?
- Who developed the theory of relativity?
- Which of these actresses appeared in the movie Top Gun: Meg Ryan, Kylie Minogue or Helen Hunt?
- What country has the capital of Nicosia?
- Who is the singer with the current album entitled “I’m Not Dead”?
- Who was the actor married to Madonna until 1989?
- How many heads of US Presidents are carved in Mt. Rushmore?

Austria, central processing unit (I cheated and asked my hubby), Margaret Thatcher, Danny Glover, Sweden, Einstien and Meg Ryan.
Am I right? I honestly only cheated on the 1 – the other’s I used my best useless trivia knowledge.

OH forgot to add – CALL IN! I would do it here when they do trivia things but they charge me for every call I make – England has crappy phone services.
