I'm addicted to this blog! (Kripa)

When I started my first entry for this first year blog, everytime I use the computer, I always tend to come to this site. (even if I have other important stuff to do..) I haven’t even updated my space yet, I have been spending lotta time here instead…is that good or bad? I have no clue.

Anyway, since today I’m just trying to kill time, I think I’ll talk abt random stuff. I have noticed that nowadays, ppl are quite interested to know more abt DUBAI. When my friends came to know I’m from there, they were just so immersed in my narration of that wonderful place. The first thing I need to say abt that place is that U DON’T have to pay tax….yep, incredible, huh? So, I could say I was living a hell of a life there! Job opportuinites are good, and my dad was working in the IT world..(computer stuff…not my fort) But the thing is that the company paid for almost everything! We lived in a villa (2-storeyed house, 3 bedrooms upstairs, 3 baths & 2 toilets…quite a mansion, actually), they paid for the rent, they paid for our education, APART from the wages!! (Pls don’t think I’m boasting, just trying to convey how life there is..)

Talking abt tourism, there’s no end, so I’ll just pick up a few. The main attraction is the hotel, Burj Al Arab, which is a skyscraper built on the beach. What’s so big abt it? Well, there’s an underground restaurant and u can actually see the fish swim past by when u eat. On top of this buidling, u have a tennis court. Probably, u might have seen it – Roger Federer played there for the Dubai Open. So if the ball goes out of the court, it just goes down to sea…maybe they have some kind of fence. I’ve never been there, too expensive, but I might go there one day when I have lots and lots of money….(big dreams..)

Another one is a a place where they made artificial snow and u can snow there!! Pls note that Dubai is a desert, and u know how hot that is, and u can snow there!! It’s a closed place, so they don’t melt. Then there’s the Palm Island, where they built land extending from the beach to the sea, and u can buy houses there!! (as long as there’s no tsunami) U must have heard of the new one where they are building the world map on the sea and u can buy houses there as well…Fascinating, huh? If u wanna see the pics, just search on google for DUBAI, and u will get it. (I thought of attatching pics here, but too lazy to do it..sorry!!)

One thing I want to say is that when people hear that I’m doing Food science, they think it’s home science (cooking n stuff)…To be loud and clear, IT’S ABSULOTUELY NOT!! It looks at much more broader aspects of food production and management…packaging, safety, etc…

thats’ all, people

Till next time,
