After a small run in with our weekend party animal neighbour from NZ we have been without neighbours on our floor for quite some time. Through the realms of facebook I realised we were due a new neighbour this week. After seeing the surname of said person I realised they have to be Scottish! Right enough tonight with a bottle of wine in hand I went and said welcome to my fellow scot. Of course the homeland chats ensue and it turns out that of course we are first cousin removed from her sisters grannies auntie Jean. Well not quite but we recognise all the same places and have others in common. She then tells me that where noisy NZ party animal used to live now lives another Scottish lady. That's not even the best of it.....we both work for the same company!!! Seriously!!!!
This post sums up Dubai, around every corner is someone that you somehow in some weird way have something in common with. So we really are taking over the world. Much as I love being in such a metropolis of a place there is something to be said from having a piece of home just down the hall. I feel quite a few BBQ's and wine sessions coming on and I am well and truly looking forward to them.
On a final note, a friend said to me tonight that when he went home he struggled to explain Dubai when people asked what was it like. Right now I feel like tis just like home but a heck of a lot warmer.
Night night peeps x
