Its deadly HOT here in Das Island .. and the humidity is just ahhh, feels like sauna!

I can't wait till the 8th of August, to go back to my office in Corniche Rd. AD

I'm fine thank you, Sym.

I've just googled Das Island. Are you off on a jaunt again? You get more holidays that Judith Chalmers

Das Island is not a place for vaccation LOL
Its a place where you work for 12 hours to ensure non-stop production of oil

My next trip (for pleasure) will be to Turkey for a 3 day visit, mainly religious/spiritual purpose to attend prayers at Sultan Ahmet (The Blue Mosque) in Istanbul, Salimiye Mosque in Edirne (North), and finally attending a Suffi Whirling ceremony. Care to join?

I had a friend, emarati fellow Umer who used to work on Das for Adnoc, finally got sick of that and left. Maybe you know him ? But this was a few years back.

Not sure if I'd know any person by just his/her first name only
The palce is not very healthy, but thats what I do for a living

The only good thing about working here is the good number of annual leave you can get, thats why you see me travelling a lot.

I hear ya about the first names !

It sounds very nice Sym. I've been to Turkey once and I wasn't very keen. I've just been to Canada, that was very nice indeed and I'll be in Dubai soon. I love Dubai, it's my very favourite place in the world.

Good luck with your work and remember to drink lots of water.

Khoosh amadeed symmetric joon! Chashmey ma roshan shudey!

Before anyone gets ideas and reach for the bread knife, I am just practising my Farsi on symmetric, a language that I love but have not spoken for some years now, hence a bit rusty!

Das Island, 6 inches up the @sshole part of the world.

Mel, my chums are having a spelling bee competition if you want to join

Welcome Sym my beloved, you make my eyes bright or you light up my eyes.

Close or way off ?

Yes, I really do fancy BM!
DDS, you must be way off. Or my Farsi must be worse than I had imagined.
Let the expert (symmetric) be the judge of that.

hmm.. DDS's translation is correct if you want to translate word by word. "You enlighten my eyes" means you made me extremely happy...

Zonker how do you know Farsi?

And DDS did you get any help in that translation?


and back on topis, I'm going shopping today! yayyy

Nah, no help here.

Well it appears that Zonker's English is better than his Farsi

In fact his English is better than mine.

Mel, enjoy your shopping trip. Where are you off to or where have you been if you're reading this later in the day?

I can tell you that she had a lovely dinner at Nobu's and ate the chocolate desert all by herself!!!! Actually, she enjoyed it so much I felt guilty for having a forkful.

Hahaha, very true! and don't forget the cinnamon wine! amazing!

BM, I went to outlet mall. It was pretty far but totally worth it. I've got two pair of shoes, one watch and some clothes in very good price.

Mahn Farsi sobat kardan dar Tehroon yad gariftam!
BTW, I thought that was how many friends addressed each other in Persian. Many a time the meaning is lost in translation; especially if its DDS doing a word for word translation getting lots of help from "friends".

And of course, BM is my one and only beloved!

And of course, BM is my one and only beloved!

Right answer Zonker!
