Things I have wondered about lately…

… how do Arab men ensure their dishdashas are so spotlessly white?

… how do cafes get away with charging 18 dirhams for a cappuccino which is half filled with foam anyway?

… why do cupboards creak ominously at night?

… why don’t they have restaurants and cafes on Jumeirah beach?

… where are the really interesting people in Dubai?

… when will Etisalat lower their rates?

… what do I want my obituary to say about me?

… what do I really want to write about?

... when will Al Barsha get a decent coffee shop which is NOT part of a gas station?

… what’s the big deal about Kentucky Fried Chicken?

... why do weekends take their time coming and end so swiftly

LOL! That was brilliant. My deep philosophical questions reduced to matter-of-fact answers. Especially love the answer to Q.6 ;-)

*grin* I hope you know it's a HIMYM ref.

Leela A said...

*grimace* I barely watch TV. In fact, had to google to figure out what HIMYM was! But I trust it’s a good reference.

Refreshing to read absolutelee again!
This may be Absolute History, but there was a seed sown by a fellow blogger (http://thewisdomtimes.rediffblogs.com/) who moved to (http://thewisdomtimes.blogspot.com)

I read your 'Absolute Lee has moved...' and was laughing when I remembered my own move message 'Time to move... Next stop:'. What a wonderful world of blogistence!

So my bit of wondering...
- Why do rediffbloggers move to blogspot
- Why was my blog on Absolute Reads then but not now
