Reflections on culture, travel, sport and books
Many months have passed since I last made a record here. I know, many think – ah, the baby appeared, so not a single minute free, changing pampers all day long…oh well, not really. I must say, of all things keeping us busy, the baby girl, Gabija, turned out to be least of the trouble […]
Read MoreIt has been a long time, I know, since I last made a print here. It was somewhat on purpose, I must admit. What started as mild weakness, elevated heart rate and nausea in the middle of summer ended up being…well, by now a big bump in my belly which in 3 months time will […]
Read MoreIt’s April. Time flies incredibly fast. I just realized by last blog post was mid January. A lot has happened since. It has been a rather productive time outdoors, as the weather this year has been very generous: not too hot not too cold. We have had around 20-24 degrees mid temperatures, which is a […]
Read MoreTime flies! We just realized last week was a 2-year anniversary of visiting Abu Dhabi for the first time. Before then I didn’t even realize how things work here and me, like many people not living here, would just associate the region with Dubai. Now I feel when people say/think I live in Dubai not […]
Read MoreA lot of time has passed since mid April when I last wrote, and a lot of things have happened too. We have officially celebrated a year in Abu Dhabi at the end of April, and we have officially passed our second Ramadan here. I was briefly in Chicago for business in mid-May, and we […]
Read MoreYup, it has been a rather hectic month for me – travelling all places I have and haven’t been before. For the first time in my life in March I stepped on the Latin America ground. It was a work-related trip, and hence not so much touristic adventures, and yet I managed to get adventures […]
Read MoreTo give you an impression of my past month I may just summarize the past 36 hours: Creamfields festival in Abu Dhabi, featuring Above and Beyond, Axwell and Ingrosso, and my absolute favourite deadmau5; beach; Louvre Abu Dhabi seeing the famous works of Picasso, Monet…you name it; The Match 2 and 3 of FIFA Club […]
Read MoreIf it were not for my husband yesterday asking when was the last time I wrote a blog post, I probably wouldn’t have done it today! Time flies when you are having fun 🙂 And indeed, I couldn’t have done it yesterday, as we were in Dubai. Now and then we go there, primarily for […]
Read MoreAnd so we had our first holiday after moving to Abu Dhabi: a two-week getaway. We decided to go to somewhere warmer, of course. Haha – just kidding 🙂 Since we have received the 110% dose of vitamin D this year already we decided to visit, well, home – our parents, relatives and friends in […]
Read MoreIt has been a crazy couple of weeks. Last weekend we went to Dubai – for the first time, a proper weekend with 2 nights in a hotel. We did what people usually like to do here, starting with going out to eat – to have an amazing steak at Prime68 enjoying a beautiful sunset […]
