New Things in Abu Dhabi

New things, new life, new places...some goods, some bads, some silly, some weirds.. but after all.. this is what I want.


1. Gosh, can't imagine how big their cotton buds size!.. even, for babies!

2. No numbering system in the streets..so, my apartment would be called: Abu Dhabi Plaza, between corner of Electra St and Nadja St.

3. All the town consist of perfectly squared and perpendiculars blocks and roads! Which is good for an amateur traveller (and woman) like myself.



4. The fries here is one of the best fries I've ever tasted (or maybe because the fries in Indonesia just sucks? dunno:p)

5. Very nice to walk around, the breeze and wind and cool, make you be able to wander around for hours without any sweat. (note: only during month dec - feb and after 17:00 pm - 09:00 am)

6. Everything loves to be called "full cream"... desperate to get anything in "low fat".. even some products are proud to put the label of "double cream"

7. Porn channel in the apartment??? no further commment about this..:)

8. I can sense the logic now, why in the developed and modern country... there's no traffic jam and no maids, no traffic means people come back from office quite early (not as Jakarta which at leats took 30 - unlimited mins to reach home, depends on the distance and the road situation of course), then more time at home to do all house chores!.. see the logic now?

9. Always see to the wrong side of the road? this is a big no-no.. very dangerous.. more than one I didn't see the car came fast to my because I was staring at the wrong direction when I was about to cross the street.

10. Free brochures, magazines (of course not the gossip mags), like to get the one from grocery stores and stares at the products:)

11. My addiction to tea is getting more and more serious.. since Dilmah tea is cheap here:). The tea which in Indonesia served in 5-star hotel (and will be damn expensive) here: with 6 dhs I got the 250 gr pack of their green tea. But still I miss Japanese ocha - bottomless:)
12. Thanks to the washing machine: all my underwear changed the color, bluish, reddish and now, unclassified color. I just still can't solve the mistery of which cloth smeared their color to the undies.
13. New kind of loneliness, which feels a bit weird since I've never felt that eventough I was alone in any places in indonesia
