December 2 was a breeze if I do say so myself. Breeze in the sense that it was quite cold and considering that theres not much to do here in Ras Al Khaimah pretty boring as well. The local authorities had set up a competition for who would have decorated his car the best for national day and we got to see some pretty interesting and uh not so interesting designs from enthusiastic Emiratis.
Even saw some weirdos who went so far as to plaster their entire car windows with printed stickers - therefore severely inhibiting visibility whilst driving. If you ask me although I'm just under training - isnt the whole object of having windows in teh car is so that you can see where you're going or whose coming at you?????? Well the local police sure had their hands full
rounding up the zealous patriots one after the other and must have made quite a good fortune in fines issued. The only ones who were happy in all this - must have been the automobile accessories dealers who really roped in big money over the weekend for decorating cars. Hey so what if your customers get caught by the law enforcement authorities - its their problem :)
Anyway I managed to reschedule my driving classes in the mid afternoons - and since its thursday I shoudl plan on going to Dubai for the wekeend -but from the look of the weqather outside again - I'm afraid that we're in for a nother downpour. Man I just hope the weather doesn't dampen my plans for this weekend.
Speaking of which my 1 buck a minute call offer to Pakistan has ended and now I'm desperately trying to save up on cash and look for alternative ways to communicate with my better half to be. For all I've spent on phone bills I could have bought and couriered her a laptop. Ah anyway alls fair in love and...
