Thursday Thirteen #57

by Grace on August 14, 2008

I’m out of the country for a month and a half and these are 13 things I’m NOT missing about Dubai:

1. Traffic

2. Dust storms

3. Long working hours I have (I work 6 days a week)

4. Mental driving of some people

5. Road diversions on almost a daily basis

6. Endless construction

7. Dirty streets near where I work

8. Overly cold malls

9. My freezing office

10. Rude taxi drivers

11. Inefficient public transport

12. The steep electricity bills due to a/c 24 hours to maintain a sustainable home environment during summer

13. The hot and unbelievably humid summer (free sauna outside)

I don’t think I’d like the heat either. Happy travels and TT.

Nothing like a free sauna.. If you could decide when it was ‘on’.

I would go nuts in a place like that.

Do things that are terrible about a place seem worse when you are not there? Hope your holiday is going well. :)
