Weekend update:)

This weekend was fabulous!! Thursday night (our weekend here is Friday and Saturday) I went to a few clubs with new teachers I work with. It was great getting to know them on a non-teacher level. It was great because we took cabs around Jumeirah, which is basically where all the famous buildings are. The first club, 360, you take a golf cart out into the marina which was pretty sweet. There are definitely some fancy yachts here!!

Friday night was a staff dinner at a Lebanese restaurant. We had some weird appetizers which were all cold... like cold green beans in cold tomato sauce, but there were tons of them. I tried almost all of the dishes, but stuck with the pita bread and hummus (delicious). After most of the staff walked over to the Irish Village and had a few drinks there and chatted. I met a couple who are both high school PE teachers here. After the Irish Village, I went back to their apartment with one of their friends who is also a new teacher at the school.

Saturday I went to the mall (again) with my roommate and we bought some more things to make our place homey and I bought some things to make my bedroom and bathroom a little more cozy.
