Lesson: Nishanth gives the worst directions ever.
An hour and too much green tea ice-cream later, we couldn't resist a beach side drive. Even though we were so NOT in the mood for more food, I was on a mission to find a little seafood shack by the beach called "bu qtair". The renowned cafe is supposedly super hard to find - So I figured this is a good time to walk around and explore-burn off some cals. All of a sudden we see a ton of kites in the sky by the beach. KITESURFERS?!
We stuck around for a while and then continued our search for this "bu qtair" ... turns out we were nowhere near it. We finally stopped and asked people for directions after we hit a dead end twice. I had no intention of eating cause I was still so full, but since it was so hard to find and there was so much build up and hype around it - we figured it would be best to get some shrimp to take home. After many parking failures, wrong turns and sand, we found the place! Turns out it doesn't open until 6.30pm...
END SCENE.
END SCENE.
I went home and slept for five hours. The sushi experience is just not complete without "itis" right after. Anyways, this is January in Dubai! I have to say that post-christmas people are much nicer. Malls are friendlier and people seem to be more relaxed on the roads. However, it's only two weeks into the new year. I'm sure the resolutions will soon wear off.
PS. I REALLY want to take up Kite Surfing. Look out for a "How to Kite Surf" post coming soon!

The problem isn't that I'm bad at directions, it's that I assume you would know the way to get to jumeirah beach road... considering you drove yourself there just the night before!

ReplyDelete<3 chinky.
I never read enough of your tweets because you don't usually @ me. So while I was going to see your blog i decided to stop by your twitter page... andddd kooka! haha, I'm so glad you at least watch jersey shore, even if you are miles away.
ReplyDeleteAlso I'm down for kite surfing legit. And I'm not sure how hot it is but how are you wearing a blazer? It's like when kids in LA wear jackets in winter and it's 20 outside...? Also I see why you want to cut your hair, you look different....oh wait it's cause you straighten the shiz outta that medusa mane!
ps. miss you! and your voice in the blog, all sharony-monotone makes me autolaugh. haha.
omg, i try to be so expressive while blogging. But clearly my monotone carries out. wth!
