Hi All,
I understand it's been a bit of a break since my last post, but lots and lots has been happening since then. Firstly, I have been out on a jetski and that was a pretty terrifying experience I can tell you. It was fun, but they are extremely fast and obviously, being a kind of boat, they have no brakes, which means that it's either power 'on' or power 'not on'. they go quite a speed as well.
Also, I have been to Dubai and I had a great time there. I finally got the chance to go up the world's tallest man made structure, the Burj Khalifa as it's known. It takes a good minute or 2 to get to the 'top'. It's a bit unfair really saying that you go to the top, you don't you go to a point about 430 odd metres in the air.it's high, but it isn't near the top. It goes up for another 300 odd metres above you at that point.
Later that day I went and saw the fountains that are in the lake at the base of the tower. In the evening they put on a light and music show and it's quite spectacular. I might well be in Dubai over the next few weeks as well. I managed to find this cheap place (relatively) to stay in, so I'd use the place again if I decide to go back.
Other than the above things are still ticking along teaching wise and I m not sure what will happen early next year once my contract finishes. I'll have to wait and see what happens.
That's all for now.
