New year, new start --> Goodbye Dubai

After more than 4 years of experiencing the pros and cons of living in the 5* desert we're heading off to see how we manage "in the real world" :)

Our apartment building

living room overlooking the Emirates Hills Golf Course

  

Guest room with golf course view

Pool area

Yes, it will take some "adjustment-time" to leave all this behind which we called "temporary home" for so long. 

However, all this can't make up for the good times we will be having with YOU all. Looking forward.....

PS: All pictures taken few days back with about 25°C ;) - I'll definitely miss that

*** Merry Christmas ***

...and a Happy New Year to everybody!!!!

Spirit of the union

As promised a few impressions of yesterday's national day celebrations. Unbelievable how much time, effort and money people are putting into this....

By the way it was not only cars :) - a little traditional dance:

...an amazing sunset:

and the beautiful skyline of the Marina:

UAE's 40th National Day

Yes, 40 years of United Arab Emirates on Dec 2nd. 

This weekend is going to be crazy. Hope we'll find our way in the chaos of celebrations and post some pics like the one below.

How much is the fiiiiiiiish ?!?!

Interesting sign-board letting you know what 'to do' and what 'not to do' on the Dubai Metro....

By the way: sleeping is as well forbidden on the Dubai Metro. Few days ago an American got fined AED 300 (60 EUR) for falling asleep in a train; carrying a weapon is AED 200  :)

Sky is the limit?!

...or not?

Fog in Dubai Marina

Hard to believe this  picture was taken by a friend of ours two days ago from his living room on the 66th floor.....

Thanks for the pic, Joern. You'r livin' it up ^^

My employer of choice.....

I should update my CV -- I assume they have branches all over the world :)
