S&G is Back / U.A.E. Travels

SO... I'm home! Back to reality, back to my apartment, back to work, and back to getting excited for what looks like an INCREDIBLE 5th year at uni.

Before I get to all that (if I get to all that), here are 10 things I learned during my stint in the U.A.E. (which occurred after my two weeks in Turkey):

(1) It was such a fun experience seeing where one of my besties is from. I love you, Wally.
(2) Us Canadians/North Americans may have breakfast ALL wrong.
(3) You KNOW you are a fierce diva when you park your Hummer wherever you want - parking spots are for punks.
(4) Dubai is insane.
(5) Mitsubishi Lancers are matchboxes on wheels - don't rent them. They go from 0-60 in 1 hour.
(6) If you're of the fair-skinned persuasion, lather up with the sunscreen before going to Wild Wadi (even if it's overcast).
(7) Ride the Jumeirah Sceirah at Wild Wadi - you'll go down that slide faster than a Mitsubishi Lancer.
(8) Try a chocolate covered date. I've been thinking about the one I ate for about a week now.
(9) There is absolutely nothing wrong with staying in all day - even on vacation. Especially when it means watching "Titanic" with your sister.
(10) Home is where the heart is.
