Excited much?

I feel, after that uncharacteristically pessimistic post I should balance it out with all the things I am looking forward to doing and seeing and experiencing.

1. Extreme desert sports (Dune Bashing, sand surfing, camel racing)

2. All you can eat/drink brunches

3. Meeting a brand new group of friends

4. Dubai on the doorstep

5. New foods

6. Every premiership game shown – even the 3pm kick offs on a Saturday

7. Being rich

8. Actually holidaying in the school holidays (Thailand, Mexico, Australia, Peru)

9. Living in a 5 star hotel for a few weeks, I have never been above a 3 star before

10. My friends and family visiting me.

11. Exploring and experiencing a brand new culture. I have heard that Emirati life is much less stressful and slower moving than UK life. I think I will fit right in.

12. Can’t believe I am putting this as I hate shopping, but I love negotiating and bartering so I can’t wait to get down to the local souks (markets) and drive a hard bargain.

It is my last week of school next week. I can’t wait to get my e-ticket.
