There are some random photos from Sri Lanka. A few are from when we hiked Adam's Peak and the others are at the beach town. Now that this site is not blocked, I should be able to add in photos as I go... we'll see though, this whole blocked site thing is annoying.
So, we only have six more work days till Winter Break, yeah!
It was another great weekend, I ran the Dubai half marathon, which went well, not as fast as I'd like, but it felt good. We also had our staff party. By the end of the evening I thought it was a great idea to stop at McDonald's and get a chicken sandwich and then proceeded to lose my wallet not once, but twice. Fortunately a friend of mine had it and delivered it to me the next morning. Today I will attempt for the third time to go and get my Dubai drivers license, the other day I went and they basically said, you're American, we don't do that. I'm also going down to the Internet place and filling out the paperwork to try to get Internet this week too. I took a loan out for a car and found one that I want to buy right now, but apparently right now is not an option in this country. I still can't buy a bottle of wine, but if all goes well by the time my mom gets here Thursday I will have a vehicle, Internet and a drivers license. Wow, and it only took 4 months. Does anybody else find it odd that I can't just call and have Internet set up? Or that it's taken three times to get a driver's license? Seriously? I'm really looking forward to taxi rides all through town to get these errands accomplished. We have tickets to an interview with George Clooney tonight, he's here for the Dubai Film Festival, and I'm supposed to be back to our apartment building by 6:00. If I had a vehicle that would be possible... with taxi's, who knows!
