Bear's Blog -- Dubai's Fun !

GREETINGS FROM DUBAI!!!!!

DAY 1
We got in yesterday and did lots of stuff, like, sleeping, eating and watching movies on planes. That’s it. Our hotel is the shorter of the two buildings on the left.

DAY 2
Today we looked at lots of villas. A villa is a type of house that is normally smaller than your average house. Sometimes it has a pool and and it almost always has a backyard. We looked at so many villas that I can’t count them.

DAY 3
Well, yesterday was the first of 2 or 3 school assessments. I know, you’re all feeling sorry for me. It wasn't actually that hard. It was math and English. When I started to do the English one I thought that I might have to write a story. WRONGO! All of the questions were like this:
"I ________ the movies"
a) has been toe my
b) have been to the
c) to go the
d) have been to
Choose which one is the correct answer. This was for the entire English test. The school was called Dubai International Academy. That school does 13 grades. So K5 is Year one. That means that I will be going into Year 7. There's is also another school called Uptown High that I might be going to. That school runs to a 12 grade level and guess what? The High/middle school is on a different campus to the Uptown Primary school where my brother might be going. So now I'll tell you anything worth listening to.
I got nothing.

DAY 4
We looked at houses today. We also went to have dinner by the beach with my dad's new boss. It was fun. We started by walking through a Souk. That is like a market I saw lots of great stuff that I wanted to buy but dad said that I could go shopping on Friday. I stayed up REALLY late.

DAY 5
I'm so tiredzzzzzzzzzz. We had to wake up at 5:30 am this morning for my test at Uptown high. I like Uptown High better than DIA. It took me 1 hour and 45 minutes to do the test because I kept losing focus. I had a nap later. Now I feel much better. We looked at more houses today, tomorrow Ack will have his test at the Uptown Primary school. At the Primary school there is a bus that takes the high schoolers to the high school. So Mum can just drop me off at the primary school and I'll be good. Tomorrow we get to go to Wild Wadi which is a water theme park. Tomorrow will also be our last day looking for houses.

DAY 6
We're d-one! I don't know why but it's alway's the last house on the last day that you end up liking. I just got back from Wild Wadi! IT WAS AWESOME!!!!! There were lots of slides and other stuff tomorrow we're going to the Souk for 5 HOURS OF SHOPPING!

DAY 7

We slept in today and then went shopping. It is Friday here and so is like Sunday elsewhere and the Souk did not open until 2pm. We went to Dubai Mall which was HUGE and included an aquarium and lot's of great shops, including one with very cool magic and electronic gadgets. We then went back to the souk and I bought some great gifts for myself and my friends. It was then off to the airport for the night flight back to Hong Kong. I didn't get much sleep but at least I am in my own bed now. That's all from me.
