So far my trip has gone really great, better than expected actually! I got tons of clothes/shoes from my aunts, but everything though is pretty backwards in Pakistan and Dubai.

• Street lanes are on opposite sides in Pakistan. So your driving on the left side of the road not the right like in America.
• Steering Wheels are on the right side of the car instead of the left.
• Bathroom Faucets - It’s cold on the left knob and hot on the right knob even though it says cold on the right knob and hot on the left knob.
• People love waking up early….like around 6am!

Besides that I’ve basically been adjusting to the timezone. It’s really hard staying awake; I’m falling asleep at 7pm and waking up at 3am! Once, I get adjusted to that and the MAJOR heat in Pakistan especially Dubai then I’ll go out shopping on my own. I need to look for things for mis amigas!

I’m living with my uncle in Dubai and his house is gorgeous! Surrounding the area he is leaving in, they’re building Dubai Land (Disney), Universal Studios, Sea World, Motor World, and Sports World! It’s unbelievable!! But my problem is that they’re going to be outside (without a roof or A/C) which I can’t stand especially in 110 degrees F and higher weather!

I’m going to busy adding new affiliates and hostees so check back later!
