Day 42 - Dubai

This morning I woke up feeling some soreness on my right side. Yes, rugby got the better of my rib cage. But I'm not complaining - it was still a lot of fun. If I can somehow find a job out here, I know exactly how I will stay in shape.

Speaking of which, after breakfast I scanned through the job boards to see whether there were any opportunities. But just as quickly as I looked at them I realized how expensive it would be to live out here. Tuition for each kid would be over $10,000 and rent would be over $5000/month. So much for that idea.

Instead I went to the mall just to walk around and look around. This being Ramadan, not much was happening. My brother picked me up and we had a late lunch back at the house. After lunch I took a nap which ended up lasting two hours. My body must have needed that rest more than I realized.

Later in the evening we went across the street to an Iftar tent. Iftar is the breaking of the fast, and many hotels set up air-conditioned tents to host the festive occasion. We enjoyed some light dinner in a different yet comfortable setting. Standard Lebanese fare was the menu, so nothing too different there.

Tomorrow morning I have a conference call early. I'll talk with you then!
