With all the moves we've done I still get homesick now and again. The funny thing is, once I move home, and no matter that my real home is beautiful, has a lovely garden a great spa area (thanks, now I am homesick!!), I feel open to moving again. Maybe you need to get out 'n about this weekend! :)

I do go out and stuff, still after a while I get homesick.
I was not all this time, it is only now, guess it is just a periodical thing or something. I am afraid if I go home I will not want to go back here, lol

it is not too bad here, just that i love walking, here it is a crazy thing to do and there are no places to walk to or no conditions to be waking, i mean no sidewalks, or very narrow ones, cars all over, ppl are walking like blind.
another thing, i do not have a car here. but, i am ok, just having a weakness attack.

Depends on what you define as home.

For now, Dubai is my home...

it is just a phase, i know that.
when i was younger, i could not imagine being away from my family, i would be away for couple of days and start crying like a baby, so, coming here for so long all by myself to pretty much nowhere showed me i was ok being away from my relatives.
am i getting too sentimental here?
anyway, good to be home, i think.

I don't think they will ban the shark fin ever... it's the Chinese thing!! Same as telling the Jap not to kill whales.

that is quiet a long time to be away, my GM was not home for like 8 years, well, his mom though comes here, he is a citizan of Canada, so, it is hard to be going to 2 homes, lol.
But, I am hoping to go home after a year at work, which is only after December, :cry: wish i was there now, weather is so nice there at this time of the year, spring has come and everything is so beautiful

Good idea!! We will be based in Phuket and will go around the islands, e.g. Coral island and Krabi Island etc...
