" Imagine yourself fighting with your best friend via Skype. Done? (...) Think that you hear a gentle, shy knock on your door and that your dad puts his head into your room like a turtle and says „we are moving to Dubai“. And you are not even able to say a single word or to fight with your friend, just sitting there, having the dumbest face in the world. Well, that is what has happened to me a few weeks a ago."

Hey! Hi! Hello! DUBAI!
So here I am. Finally!
I am so happy to be here. Every single thing is perfect, the weather, the city, the people. It really is a paradise.
Finally. Actually, the post is 4 weeks late, which I am really sorry about, but all the rush and things going on just occupied my mind all the time, and I wasn't able to think properly.
When I walked out of the plane, I immediatly realised that a)I really am in Dubai b)The weather is for sure not like in Poland, so I quickly had to take off my coat and UGGs. I believe my face was priceless.
I like it here, eventhough it's hard and I miss my friends. However I can't complain all the time, as I wanted this. I'm now on the stage of fitting in, getting to know all the classmates. What I really like about my peers in Dubai, is that they are really open and kind. They help me a lot, everytime I need something they are there, eventhough they don't know me that well.
Speaking in English was hard at first, and I kept switching to polish when I was tying to explain something, which was quite embarassing. ;)
Dubai is...different? I guess when I'm here that is the first word to come to my mind. I got horned on, because I wore a long-sleeve dress, which ends just before my knee, and some people were pointing at me. Living here means going far away from your comfort zone. You don't live according to YOUR rules, but according to their. But it is okay, as far as you respect the culture, the rules. They want people to come here, to live here. As I said earlier, there is nothing to complain about. Maybe with a little exception:People here are terrible drivers. ;)
And here is what I've baked lately! Yes, it's a rainbow cake! Yummy, for the recipe, just click here!
