Believe it or not, last week Bas and I marked one year together here in Dubai. Its been an incredible time and we've learned so much. For instance:
a Three things that should never go together at the same time: Lena, ice cream and desert off-roading.
a Tiger Woods and Bas will never meet on the golf course.
a Curiousity may very well kill our cat Eliot if he tries to jump off our third-floor balcony again.
a If it is midnight but you're sweating like you're running on a treadmill in a blast furnace while wearing a rubber-lined track suit, then it must be summertime in Dubai.
a No matter where you are in the world, you can always count on a cold Heineken at the bar...unless you're in Montana.
a You don't realize just how much plot line you can miss when movie sensors axe sex scenes.
a Ikea makes a very fine chicken showarma.
a Just because they sell Christmas trees at the grocery store doesn't mean that they also sell Christmas tree stands...nor does anyone else in the city.
But the most important thing we've learned this year is just how lucky we are to have each other (insert "Aaaaaaww..." here).
So far, so good: We've loved this past year and we're really looking forward to the next one.
