Well well well... it looks like Middle Eastern Chick let school and Dubai get the best of her and failed to update her blog for one whole year! How about we let this one slide and call it quits? After all, she has been working on a brand new project that will keep you all busy reading for a while! Middle Eastern Chick is currently compiling her best stories for all you budding readers to enjoy. These stories should be out in a couple of months, so let's keep our fingers crossed and hope that she can maintain a schedule for once in her life.
Other than her shameful disregard for her readers, Middle Eastern Chick has spent most of her time people watching this summer. No, no hot European boys this year (this must be punishment for not writing...). She did, however, manage to learn a thing or two about people in her own city of residence. For example, when one approaches the age of 18 (like MEChick), one sees no age boundaries to who one finds attractive. Does that happen to you too? No...? Okay... just MEChick then...
Well, what she means to say is that her hormones have been raging like crazy and she's gone as far as to look at twenty-four year olds as potential "candidates", if you know what she means? *wink wink* Actually, no you don't know what she means. People jump to conclusions much too quickly around here (that's the second thing she learned, but she'll come to that later) so let's make it clear that she was hinting at dating and nothing more.
About people jumping to conclusions... she CANNOT have been the only person to notice this! People out here really do jump to conclusions over the smallest issues! The best popular example that she can think of is the famous Facbook group named so aptly:
"Bro she liked your picture. Wallah she wants you!"
This jumping to conclusions business is definitely not restricted to the love and lust department.
"She/He hasn't been home for an hour! Where is my baby?! WALLAH SHE/HE MUST BE DYING ON THE ROAD! OR GETTING RAPED!" All teenagers and young adults can relate to this perfectly.
"She has the same purse as I do. WALLAH SHE'S TRYING TO RUIN ME!"
"He goes to the same cafe as I go to. WALLAH HE WANTS ME TO GET HIM A JOB!"
"They both didn't turn up for today's dinner-out? WALLAH THEY'RE DOING THE HANKY PANKY!"
"She didn't sit next to her husband? WALLAH THEY MUST BE HAVING A FIGHT!"
"He looked at me when I passed him? WALLAH HE WANTS ME!"
Alright, Middle Eastern Chick will admit that the last one was definitely her. Damn all this jumping-to-conclusions business! It's harshin' her mellow.

Europa!
Well, it's been a while hasn't it?
Middle Eastern Chick has been away... IN EUROPE! Well, she's back to the good ol' Middle East now, but the whole month of July was spent in green lands with perfect weather, quite a world away from the hot deserts of home.
Austria, Spain and Italy were the main destinations. Oh, and seven days on a cruise ship. Sounds brilliant doesn't it?! Not to mention the ridiculous over-load of eye-candy as well. You knew it was coming, didn't you? Don't worry, all Middle Eastern Chick's girlfriends ask the same question: "Were the guys hot?" And frankly, who wouldn't want to know? It's true! Middle Eastern Chick can vividly recall walking down the bustling street of Las Ramblas in Barcelona as if it were a sea of pure eye-candy. One or two guys even made her swoon. No kidding. Of course, she had to swoon discreetly.
Apart from the sizzling levels of hotness, there were quite a few other attractions. You know, secondary ones, like the Colosseum, the Vatican City, St. Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel and what-not. I kid, I kid! The history of all the countries visited was to die for. Every street we walked and every corner we turned, there was a new story to be told. Sometimes it just got quite unbelievable. Like, this one time, Middle Eastern Chick was walking with her tour-group in Rome when the guide randomly pointed to a construction site and told us that the city planned to build an extension to the metro line there. However, once they started excavating for the project, they ran into Roman ruins. Yup, just like that... we want metro, but we found Roman ruins. No big deal.
Now, let me get onto the important bit: the Cruise ship. DAMN. I WANT TO LIVE ON ONE FOREVER! If you haven't been on a cruise ship yet, Middle Eastern Chick STRONGLY recommends it! It was flippin' brilliant! There were 18 decks that housed pretty much everything, from casinos, restaurants, cinemas, comedy clubs, nightclubs and amphitheaters, to a water park (with slides and all), rock-climbing wall, spa, gym, basketball court, running track, pools, bars and social clubs. Basically, one could never get bored. AT ALL. The only time Middle Eastern Chick wasn't on deck was when she needed a little shut-eye in her cabin (which was FANTASTIC! It was tiny, but it was five-star tiny) or when she was out and about in the city when the ship was docked. Otherwise, she was always out on deck with her new friends (yes, there was a teens social club too. It was called Entourage), doing all sorts of crazy stuff, or dancing late into the night at the various parties the ship had.
Oh, and did she mention FREE FOOD? That's right. It's one a.m, you feel hungry? No problem! Head off to a restaurant that's still open and serving and order all the food you want, no charge. It was chocolate brownie sundae HEAVEN. 'Nuff said.
The only downside that Middle Eastern Chick can think of is the obvious withdrawal that one would experience after such an epic get-away. Imagine landing back in Dubai, getting hit square in the face by a blast of sickly moist warmth and realising that you have to start paying for your food again. What a ripper. But hey, it's always good to be back, innit? ...Kind of.
