Well we made it through a very busy Thanksgiving weekend!
Thursday we braved the traffic to venture into Bur Dubai by the Dubai Creek for dinner with some of Liz's former co-workers. Seventeen people total, about a dozen of whom were Americans. The non-Americans seemed to rather enjoy the American way of pigging out on turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and more.
Then on Friday (which is part of our weekend) we had another dinner with Liz's current co-workers. Actually about the same number of people, but we ate a little scattered around the apartment, as the table real estate was scarce. Several non-Americans, too, which is always fun. One woman from India has been here since 1992! She's seen a few changes, let me tell you!
On Saturday we did the grocery shopping bit, and, per usual, I saw a few things I just had to take photos of and share.
First off, did I ever imagine I'd see Baby Jesus at Géant?!? They have a ton of Christmas decorations for sale here, many many many more than I would have guessed they would.
Oh, Géant also apparently sells cornmeal now, too. Seriously. I almost screamed.
Thirdly, what is this?! Is Citizens Bank Park even known for their food? Now, if they were Dodger Dogs, well then, that'd be something different altogether.
No, the real reason they're here? "Beef Franks". No pork.
Lastly, every time I see a row of detergent with logos and words I don't understand, I think of that Simpsons episode where Homer finds out that there's a Japenese detergent that looks suspiciously like him.
