A week in....

I've been in Abu Dhabi a week now, and I must say, I'm enjoying every second! I had a great New Years eve, a house party in possibly the most amazing flat I've ever seen, with plenty of people and a mile walk home at 5am!!! I was with a guy that i work with, so I was fine, but it was slightly surreal walking home at that time and not even needing a jumper!! A bit like it was in Thailand really, but without the mozzies!!

I've been for brunch at one of the hotels here, more food than I thinkI have ever seen...anywhere and then for drinks on the Corniche (although by drinks, I mean Mango juice and water....no alcohol outside of hotels, it's taking some getting used to I must say! I could buy a license so that I can buy alcohol to have at home, but I haven't been here long enough to get one yet).

I'm making the most of building up a bit of colour before it gets too hot! Took a long walk from my apartment to the Marina Mall (Probably about 3 adn a half miles, but seems longer in the heat) and found my feet in Ikea...I know where my first pay packet will be going! I think I need some new work shoes too....well...old habits die hard!!!

I have my 2009 London Calendar up in my office and my ROH calendar at home (I would probably get teh sack if I put a naked male bum on my wall...especially one belonging to Eric Underwood!!!) so I have my little tasters of home around me all the time. I found it amusing that I was walking around Ikea, looking at things that I already own back home...the world really is a very small place!!

Good news is, I will be coming to the UK on business at least twice a year, if not more, so I will have a chance to catch up with everyone at some point!!!

Hope that you are all well...sorry I haven't been able to contact you all more individually, facebook is blocked at work and I don't have the internet at home yet....ho hum!

Take care everyone!xxxx
