I wanted to let you know that I am safe in Dubai and doing well. The 12 hour flight was not too bad, I watched two movies, one on the way up and one before I landed and I slept in between! The hot temperatures and humidity hit you right as you step out of the airport. Basically I am staying inside for another month until it cools down! My first few days here were filled with buying things for my apartment, getting my bearings, and meeting new people. I am still exhausted but have met lots of new people from my school and everyone has been great. The above picture is of my school taken from the balcony of my apartment across the street. Yes the sun is rising and yes I was awake, but at our first day of orientation today (work week starts on Sundays!) I found out that everyone was up that early!
Wow what a great pic of the school. Happy to hear you are there safe and sound and are getting acclimated to the new environment. Send pictures and let me know if you need anything.
