10 Things I love about UAE
Ten (10) Things I love about UAE As a continuation of my 10th year anniversary of being an expat in the UAE for the past decade, I am sharing ten (10) things that I love most in the Emirates. I could give more than 10 but this are the ones that comes first. 1. Accessibility Everything is accessible. I mean transportation is efficient and bus timing are on time. Of course not perfect but surely you can depend on it. Access to schools, hospitals, parks, malls are easy. 2. Baqala This is a mini-store (sari-sari store) version of Abu Dhabi. So far I haven’t seen this in Dubai. But…

It’s what I learned and that I notice them too often that it definitely left a mark into this OFW life. This is my first passport bucketlist ✓: To have my first passport stamped before it expires. lol 🤣🤣🤣 So, I took my passport in 2005 without any intention of an international travel… only to have one solid ID on my belt whenever a government company would require. But at the back on my mind, I told myself – I want it stamped before it expires. Bucket-list checked! ✓ This is another post…

Abu Dhabi : Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque
Abu Dhabi is the capital city of United Arab Emirates (UAE) and it offers many great attractions to visit! In my first Abu Dhabi 10 blog post, I have shared Sheik Zayed Grand Mosque as one of the free places/site to visit here in Abu Dhabi and this year, we have visited it once again. The last time was I guess 5 or 6 years ago and somehow the place is now highly maintained and probably 99% complete now. (I think a few parking areas are still under construction) How to get there: Basically if you have a car, you could go directly to the place. There is a dedicated…

It’s Eid al-Adha, what’s your plan?
Eid al-Adha is one of the many holidays that UAE and other muslim countries celebrates. There are 2 Eid celebrations: One is Eid al-Fitr that’s the end of the Ramadan season and the upcoming one on 31st August is Eid al-Adha. It is also known as the Big Eid probably because it is usually noted as a long holiday (including the weekends). This Eid is also called as the Sacrifies Feast, in honor of Abraham who willingly sacrificed/offered his son as an act of submission to God’s command. Pretty much the same story with what we Christians have in the holy bible. With the holiday approaching, what’s your plan?!? You’d…
