Al in Arabia: February 2009
http://alinarabia.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
A South African Scot on an Arabian Adventure. Wednesday, 18 February 2009. It's been a while. Recently a number of people have asked me what has happened to my blog. I must admit I was quite surprised that people were still following it. I suppose I've been here for six months now, what was a big adventure has become a way of life and therefore goes undocumented. Anyway, here goes with a long overdue post:. It this the worlds tallest lightning conductor? Worlds most expensive beer? Its been a while.

A South African Scot on an Arabian Adventure. Friday, 3 October 2008. Bahrain, Qatar and the "big thirst".

One of our site offices is on the southern tip of Bahrain where they are constructing a palm type structure similar to those off the coast of Dubai. This is Durratt Al Bahrain. We drove past the.

Al in Arabia: June 2009
http://alinarabia.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
A South African Scot on an Arabian Adventure. Wednesday, 17 June 2009. The end is nigh. Well it's almost time to leave the Sandlands. Unfortunately the global recession has finally caught up with me and I am, together with the bulk of my colleagues, back in the Job Center queue. I have no regrets about coming out here, it's been a great experience. The job market in the UK seems pretty dire right now so I've decided to use the recession as an opportunity to take some time out and do some travelling.

http://alinarabia.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
A South African Scot on an Arabian Adventure. Sunday, 6 July 2008.

I've spent the past two months slaving away in my garden, d...

Al in Arabia: Settling in just fine
http://alinarabia.blogspot.com/2008/10/im-now-fully-fledged-resident-of-dubai.html
A South African Scot on an Arabian Adventure. Saturday, 25 October 2008. Settling in just fine. I recently visited the newly opened Atlantis Hotel and Water Park, http:/ www.atlantisthepalm.com/. I loved the ride through the shark pool. OK the sharks are a lot smaller than they show in the promotional material, but it's great to float inside an aquarium with fish all around you. I chickened out of the "Leap of Faith" virtial slide though. 27 October 2008 at 11:47. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A South African Scot on an Arabian Adventure. Tuesday, 7 October 2008. It's just like the Wild West. I've finally found myself an apartment in Dubai, so my time as a resident of Sharjah is finally coming to an end. :). Which brings me to to todays topic.

I've been looking at properties for about a month and have walked away from three potential deals so far. Agent / Landlord No 1:. Blogs that I read.

http://alinarabia.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
A South African Scot on an Arabian Adventure. Sunday, 14 September 2008. This last weekend I went to go and see an apartment in Dubai Marina. The apartment block has fantastic finishes and great facilities. It seemed too good to be true. it was. This is the Marina View from the balcony. The bus driver who takes the other staff to work from the same hotel left 40 minutes after me and arrived at work 15 minutes before me. He drives like Michael Schumaker and getts a regular hooting at. Perhaps it's...The m...
