Lunch

Hi All.

I ordered lunch in today.

Actually, there are 3 ways to have lunch in a Dubai office:
1. bring your own - not practical for me as I don't have a kitchen as yet;
2. trek to a local eatery - it's going to be a bitch in Summer; and

3. order a delivery - there are squillions of restaurants that deliver, including not only the ubiquitous fast food joints, but also kebab shops, indian restaurants and an assortment of other eateries.

For about AUD$9 I ordered a skewered chicken plate (it came with chips!!??) and a massive salad. So I saved the salad for dinner. I reckon that's cheap. Especially because it's delivered.

A real estate agent emailed today to offer me a 2 bedroom apartment for AED7,500 per month, which equates to about AUD$2,800 per month. Another real estate agent said that was a bargain. Thank goodness my work is subsidising my rent.

I took some pictures today of my office, the view from my office, my room mate, and a colleague. They are below for you viewing pleasure. Note how they spelled my name on the delivery docket. He he he.
