Kookie in dubai - tales in the desert city. Sunday, March 19. This blog name is a little white lie. I'm actually in Melbourne, Australia and am about to head over to Dubai and follow my partner, P, in the name of love. P is an architect and like a lot of people in Dubai has a high flying job that pays him lots of $ $ . Meanwhile I'm finishing off my work commitments in Melbourne and will be there by the end of April. Posted by kookie at 5:42 am. I am addicted to films, books and eating.

kookie in dubai - tales in the desert city: October 2006

Kookie in dubai - tales in the desert city. Tuesday, October 24. Spirit In The Sky. It's Eid in Dubai which means that the holy month of Ramadan is now over. Ramadan is a time for self reflection for Muslims and is a month of fasting and prayer. During this month they can't consume anything between sunrise and sunset: no food, no water and no physical acts such as exercise, sex or smoking. So if you are a Muslim the last 27 days would go something like this:. 0430 - get up, eat and go back to bed.

Kookie in dubai - tales in the desert city. Thursday, September 14. A while ago I was sick. I had a UTI; that's a urinary tract infection. Enough said. I went to the chemist. I asked if they had any Ural. Blank looks all around. Mmm.ok.change tact. I attempted to describe the pain. The chemist looked at me and started pointing at his stomach and making loud, sort of farting, noises. He then asked 'deposits.you got the deposits'? No, no deposits' I replied. Ah, you have the wets then.you know wets? A woma...

Kookie in dubai - tales in the desert city. Thursday, February 22. Home Is Where The Heart Is. It's official - I am now a resident of the UAE. What does that mean? I can now apply for an alcohol licence which means that I can go to a large supermarket full of booze, buy it and drink it at home. I can get a full driving licence and be subjected to waiting in queues for hours in a government building to get it. I can purchase property with the millions of dirhams that I've saved here. Tuesday, February 20.

Kookie in dubai - tales in the desert city. Sunday, December 17. I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas. Well that's a blatant lieI'm not really. I'm dreaming about lying next to a pool, sipping on a Pink Lady and eating roasted peanuts while the sun goes down in Sri Lanka. Posted by kookie at 4:27 pm.

Kookie in dubai - tales in the desert city. Monday, August 28. I had to do a visa run the other day. This means leaving Dubai, exiting the country by car or plane and then returning to get another stamp in your passport which gives you 60 days on a tourist visa. I chose to fly to Doha, Qatar which is an hour away. To go to the prayer room. Posted by kookie at 12:01 pm. Monday, August 21. I Want Your Sex. I live in a fairly busy area and often see ladies of the night do their business on the street. A...

Kookie in dubai - tales in the desert city. Wednesday, June 21. Everybody wants to work.no, no, not me. I'm not working at the moment and even though I have plenty of moments where I ask "Who am I? What am I doing here? Thats my favourite thought right now) I'm enjoying just taking my time doing simple things. Like going to Paul, my favourite cafe, ordering a coffee and reading the whole paper until I notice the staff staring at me and I can see them thinking "is she going to order anything else? Custome...

Kookie in dubai - tales in the desert city. Tuesday, May 30. I mean yeah, I mean no, I mean yeah but no. I hopped into a taxi yesterday and asked the driver to take me to the Emirates building on Sheik Zayed Road. The guy nodded "Yes of course madam". As we seemed to be driving for a long time I ask "Are we nearly there yet? Ah, madam.I'm not sure.let me ask my cousin". He then makes a call on his mobile while driving. "Ok, sorry we go the wrong way". Yes, uh huh.yes.I think.madam". You know where it is?
