Our Crib - Exterior

Innan ni kommer in till oss möts ni av dessa härliga miljöer:

Vårt hus Olympic Park bldg 4.

Huvudingång/Main entrance.

Huvudingång/Main entrance close-up. 

Alternativ ingång/Other Entrance
Innanför, vid head desk, skymtar ni min favorit-Security Guard Ershad
som håller koll på mig. Har nämnt honom här i bloggen tidigare.

Här har ni Mr. Ershad Security Guard.

Alltid glad och vänlig vilket kanske inte syns så väl här.

Hissarna/Elevators på vårt våningsplan.

Hallen från vår lägenhetsentré ner mot hissarna.

Vår lägenhetsdörr och resten vet ni redan.

Det var det.

Nu skall vi bara föra lite härliga diskussioner om möbler, färg och form innan hemmet inreds till fullo =)

Take Care!

Love, love!

Our Crib - Interior

Välkomna hem till oss! 

Följ med på en liten presentationsrunda...

Entré/Hall

Till höger från Entré/Hall in mot Vardagsrum.

Vardagsrum hittills ganska tomt.

Vardagsrum fortfarande ganska tomt.

Utsikt från balkong ner mot Zenith 1 och till vänster
i bild skymtar ni Sheik Zayed Road, den upp till åttafiliga (8!) motorvägen
 placerad rakt igenom Dubais Skyline.

Utsikt från balkong in mot huset. 

Utsikt från balkong och Vardagsrum. Den vita jättelika byggnaden
är Dubai Cricket Stadium - vi bor ju som sagt i Dubai Sports City!
Dubai Autodrome, en annan jättelik anläggning, ligger ett stenkast bort
 från oss.

Söt School Bus utanför vårt Vardagsrum.

Vardagsrum igen.

Gästtoalett som nästan aldrig nyttjas.

Bredvid Gästtoaletten ligger vårt tvättrum.

Kök utan spis (vi letar fortfarande efter en vettig icke-gasspis/ugn!)

Kök sett från Hall. 

Från vardagsrum ut till Hall och Entré.

Lite så ser det ut hemma hos oss just nu.

Vi ser mycket fram emot alla härliga besök av ER!

Må så gott!

Love, love!

Sweet-Factory.

Sweet for my sweets!

Considering the hectogramme price of bulk candy in Sweden compared to the hectogramme price in Dubai...

9,90 dirhams per hectogramme = nearly 20 sek per hectogramme!

I paid nearly 50 sek for the candy on this picture.

So now we should be ashamed of ourselves if we're NOT enjoying every little piece in the tiniest bag of candy. Literally.

Kind of a good thing though...

You will never buy those massive kilos on saturday, sunday, monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday and saturday again, as you actually did in Sweden.

Always a good thing along with a bad thing ;)

Wishing you the best of all tuesdays!

Love, love!

ALDO ACCESSORIES

This is actually something for my hubby! 

This Friday you'll see him wearing what's in this paper bag from ALDO ACCESSORIES. 

Yeayyy! So I think we're all set to participate on Valeria's cool Birthday party in the Green Community West. 

The theme is 20s/30s. 

The Great Gatsby - Glitter, glamour, maffiosos, charleston, gangster!

Love it.

So much fun.

Enjoy today!

Love, love!

SWE-CAN.

Olympic Tournament

Got myself a good seat at the Mövenpick Hotel down by Jumeirah Beach Residence. Having a glass of HAPPY HOUR today as well! Wasn't supposed though. It just happened. For sure.

GO TEAM SWEDEN! 

GOOO!

Make yourselves proud!

Have yourselves a lovely sunday!

Love, love!

Nightlife Dubai.

Happy Hour! 

So we hadn´t quite made up any specific plans for our Thursday evening. But we hooked up with some friends in the Marina! And it turned out to be one of those hilarious as well as unplanned evenings. 

A lot of laughs, a lot of great laughs, A LOT OF SICK AND CRAZY HUMOUR and some *Happy Hour* going on at the bar! 

At the restaurant down by the Marina Walk.

Awaiting the boattaxi by the Marina Promenade. 

HAPPY HOUR!

Wishing everybody a Happy Sunday!
Love, love!

Pics of the week.

My week in pictures.

Coolest view from the Metro.

Thank God for Starbucks´s Wi-Fi!

Wishing you all an absolutely fab weekend!

Love, love!

Candylicious.

Our little favorite candy treat on each and every weekend. 
And, yes, sometimes even on other weekdays.
At least for some of us!

Love, love!

T.G.I.T.

Thank God It´s THURSDAY.

In Dubai, the working week is generally Sunday to Thursday. So cheers to us on this!

Woohoo! 

Anders´s last working day for the week. 

 

Let´s celebrate with some Dubai pics:

And so of course there are a lot of sick cars out here.
This one has got himself quite a good parking lot right infront of the entrance of M.O.E.
He is one lucky guy. 

In one of those many, many luxurious malls.

Beautiful architecture inside of the M.O.E -Mall of the Emirates

Talks for itself.

"Our dearest beach" - Jumeira Beach Park

Sand Castle on Jumeira Beach Walk. Due to Dubai´s hosting of World Expo 2020.

Wi-Fi connection in The Motor City of Dubai. Just a few blocks from our bldg.

We love Dubai Laundry.

So since I´m not quite working one would think that time, for me at least, goes by so very slowly. I´ll tell you. It doesn´t. Not even. There is so much to do in this town but yet so little time. I don´t even know how this town does it?! I WAS thinking: What am I going to do with all my newborn time? So, I´m not having that thought ever again. 

First of all - moving here and everything which comes to that. I am telling you. That is a full time jobb. Appointments & Decisions/Decisions & Appointments and the other way around once more.

Second of all - When you are one of those newbies, wherever in the world you may be, your actual job is to get to know the place. Embrace it, breathe it and live it. And then all the cool reactions comes. That comes with the territory. Reactions.

And yes! So far so good.
