Well i thought it was about time to write a new blog, it is Sunday morning I am at school (the work week here is Sunday to Thursday) and I have lots to do so I thought a procrastiation was in order. As you may know I was in the Calgary Herald for an article they did on Globetroting Calgarians featuring yours truley and ofcourse Dubai. It was well written and a lot of people found it interesting. So I guess I am almost world famous now, well in my own mind I guess.
So little has changed in my life in the last few months so I thought I would rant a bit as that what blogs can be for too, not just an update on what is happening in my life. Everyone had said to me that you will save sooo much money if you go overseas to teach, think of the tax breaks and the housing is paid for you will have difficulty spending the cash.... THAT is if you do not want to experience anything of the place you live at, or are living with someone. The things that keep you busy outside of work are very expensive and a lot of cash goes to that, I mean a lot. Every weekend there is someones birthday or event going on that a guy like me can not miss. I like to be busy all the time and it all seams to cost a lot of money.
to go for a drink here in Dubai is not a cheap under taking, I rarley do it anymore now being that you pay close to $10 CND for one, so what that is like $5US now?? and being that we get paid in US dollars we as Canadians over here are not making as much as we did when we got here. Oh well, people coming to visit pay less now, that is good, well if anyone does come visit that is. So back to my rant, golf is one of my favorite sports, well it used to be. I played on thursday night and shot the worst score i ever have i think. I will not say but it was well over a century, I am sure glad i am taking lessons once a week for the last 6 weeks, wow have they helped. At one point I was willing to stop golfing altogether. it was not a great day for Curtis.
Anyway I will leave it at that for now, I could go on for a while this morning but I think I should start to get some work done today.
oh if you do have questions for me I can not respond to the comments you leave on my blog. so e-mail me if you do have questions for Dubai or me. I will forward the questions you have for Dubai to her e-mail. you know what i mean.
14 weeks and I am back in Canada....not that i am counting...
