Unfortunately, I don't have anything exciting to report, but I do have some food comments to make =) The food is amazing; anything from basically any country is here. The only thing I haven't tried is food native to the Gulf region, but I am not sure exactly what that is. Lebanese food is big here, so when we go to restaurants I actually know what some stuff means. Last night we went to souk madinat jumeirah, which is this -posh place with traditional shops and tons of restaurants. It even has a man-made creek that you can take boat rides on (almost everything here is man-made, half the beaches didn't exist until they drained the land to make more room). Anyway, I ate at a Moroccan place, which was amazing, and the waiter brought live entertainment to us as were eating.
Side note* I ordered merguez, which is a type of sausage, and the only way I knew that small piece of information was because a certain French professor took points off of my presentation last fall because I pronounced the work incorrectly. You must remember this is Janine writing, and of course I'm going to include something about school ;)

Haha, you would mention McKinney in your blog. At least you learned something from that class--all I can recall is my strong dislike for the concept of le métissage. I'm surprised that Strauss hasn't received a shoutout yet. :)
Janine,
I look forward to hearing about your adventures! Dubai looks like an amazing city. I have a blog somewhat started for Cornell--once I get it up and running I'll let you know. Have fun!!
Strauss is coming, don't worry....
sounds amazing Janine. Can you see the building that is supposed to be the tallest building in the world? Food is always a #1 item for me. How is the cost situation of the food or anything over there?
