Howdy, Readers! I’m sure you miss me. It’s been a long time, folks. Thanks for passing by though I wasn’t updating this blog for some weeks. Assuming this blog has awesome readers, I came up with a list of posts I intend to write about in the following days. If I could write all

Are you trying to learn Japanese for your planned tour? Or simply to make sense of real anime voices? Or just to survive a night with a Japanese acquaintance? If so, these phrases will surely be of help: Yoroshiku onegai shimasu. (silent ‘u’) Literally, it’s translated “Please look favorably upon me.” It simply means “It’s

Nervous about your first jetski ride? You know that jetski isn’t for the faint-hearted. If you aren’t that brave but you have insatiable thirst for thrill and fun, wave riding is for you. It only takes a 10-year-old’s intelligence to figure out how it works. A great friend told me that jetskiing isn’t just for the

Bobby Fischer Against the World is an insightful look at the life of a chess genius. As they always say, talent is one thing, deliberate practice is another. Bobby has both. Son of a brilliant woman, Regina, he had the make-up of a genius that manifested through the superior battle of the minds- chess. Bobby’s

Food? Friends? Freedom? Faith? Future? I’m accustomed to living a solitary life, less devout than a monk. In my two years in the UAE as an expat worker, I haven’t visited many noteworthy or impressive places. Dubai feels superficial. Its bustling nightlife doesn’t appeal to me (and my wallet), and its man-made tourist attractions lack

If you want to get an impressive view over Al Ain City from the mountain top, Jebel Hafeet is your best destination. The Jebel Hafeet Mountain is the only mountainous area in Abu Dhabi, UAE. It rises 1300 meters above sea level (thanks, Corey for the comment) and is a part of Hajar mountains bordering Oman. The mountain
