TO EVERYONE WHO CAME HERE FROM INTERPALS

Unfortunately Interpals has been blocked in the UAE, so if any of you sent me a message I won't be able to reply until December 20th, when I'm in Poland. I think that it was agains the country's policies and law, so I shouldn't really be mad at them. Like I said previously I chose to live here, so now I can't complain about rules in a country which is not my nation. I'm their guest, not the other way around. :)
However you can always contact me here: jk.in.dubai@gmail.com

p.s. DUBAI GOT EXPO 2020! Congrats, I knew it is going to win, we even got a day off at school
pp.s. Happy National Day UAE :)

Long time no see! 1 year anniversary woot woot

    To whoever is reading this blog: I am so sorry that it's been 7 months since my last post. I had lots of stuff to do. I was changing schools and going to my home country then holiday etc. Well I realized that it is my blog's 1 anniversary! Happy Birthday to me and to the blog woot woot. 
In a few day we will find out whether Dubai is going to host EXPO 2020. If we will, then I'll get an extra day off to celebrate (oh UAE you are too kind!). I really am keeping my fingers crossed, because I know what a great opportunity it is for the city. Dubai deserves it. It could develop and so many tourists would come, giving job to many unemployed! 

    So about my new school, to which I moved due to educational reasons only, as I loved my friends in the previous one. It's even bigger than the previous one, yet it is not that overwhelming. The level of teaching is really high and I enjoy every minute of it. 

    So since my last post I managed to make a visit to the legendary Burj Al Arab, more specifically to the Junsui restaurant. It was extraordinary. The food, the design the people. No wonder it's a 7 star hotel. We managed to take a look at Souk Madinath from the hotel, discovering how amazing the place is. I hope I will go back to BAA soon. So as you can see, Dubai has its pro's in the end. ;)
I have started IBDP and I just do everything to procrastinate (baking is one of the ways). Even though I find it all interesting, it is just really hard to focus, when there is so much going on. 
    These are my favorite places in and outside the Dubai Mall. There is nothing more beautiful than the fountains show every evening. Every time they playa different song(sometimes modern, sometimes opera, sometimes arabic) each time being even more beautiful and moving. +the view on Burj Khalifa. However there is something that made me really angry. There was this great area, where you could just sit under Burj Khalifa, with lots of space, to watch the fountains or to take walk without squishing. Now they have decided to enlarge the Dubai Mall taking the whole area away! What is it too small? Seriously why to enlarge the biggest shopping centre in the world, with opportunity cost of the beautiful empty area it had? 

Just a random triple-chocolate mousse it is really worth trying, however I can't give you the recipe here, because I'd have to translate it and it's super long. I will do that one day though, I promise!:>

In my next post I will write a list of worth-visiting places. 
See you soon!
