Sunday and Sharja

Sunday (=Monday in Europe) was quite an interesting day, I don’t want to say it was bad day, now way, it was rather interesting day, since it was my first day in the office after IC. Having in mind that on Saturday I had very long and good sleep so wake up in the morning was really easy and I even managed to have nice breakfast. However, Sunday (=Monday) thingies started to happen in the office. First of all internet was not working, tied all combinations but it was not working. So went to the LC office where guys were having road shows (=@ promotion). Tied to connect my laptop to the internet there, Hur did his best in searching for cables and all stuff to make it work, however I ended up working on two computers, office one with internet connection and mine with all the data… it was not that much fun…. However I managed to do basic things I had to do! Good for me:)

When day turned to the evening we went for Shisha (gosh I missed that really much), so Vrej came to pick me up from the office and as no wonder we got stuck in the traffic! So we reached House of Shisha after one and a half of hour, when guys were enjoying smoke of shisha… Anyways, grape shisha is so good! Was nice to sit again in that comfi couch and relax! So when we got ready to leave and Vrej was dropping Deepak and me home somehow he got an idea to go for fail*** (some kind of cheep Lebanese food) in Sharja. No wonder but Deepak and me said why not, lets go for it! I’m always up for any spontaneous idea! So we were on our way to Sharja, where I’ve been couple of times. However this time was really different, we went for that food which name I don’t remember which was good. Then we took a ride though all Sharja. It left me very good impression of calm, beautiful and keeping tradition city. The best part of it was the port area where you can see all boats of trading and fishing, there boats are just like from a nice movie or picture, all wooden decorated in different colors. The area is full of all kinds of packages that were traveling long way. On the opposite side of that there are small old shops that sell specified goods; there is good place to buy some spices, ect. And of course there are simple but nice shisha places. That street gives very good picture of the Emirates of what it has been before oil was discovered: fishing, shipping and small trading. Peaceful and easy life. The view was marvelous! I regret that I didn’t have my camera with me. But this is a place to come back when the weather treats you well and you can enjoy long walking there. When we moved the road further we reached Ajman, another emirate, which is also so different from Dubai, life seems much slower there. There is one interesting fact to mention about Sharja and Ajman: Sharja is a city where alcohol is forbidden (as in all UAE, but in that emirate especially since it’s funded by Saudi Arabia), and Ajman is famous for its illegal alcohol trading! So we went to see the place where that goodie is sold:), however this time we didn’t get any… Interesting thing is that if you buy some alcohol in Ajman and then you have to drive back thought Sharja where its is forbidden to carry alcohol. If you will be stopped by police and your car will be checked you may get into very serious problem! So there are two options:

1. to buy alcohol in Ajman and drink it there, then go drunk to Dubai

2. to buy alcohol in Ajman, take it though Sharja and get a risk to be deported:)

Driving back we went back to all these beautiful views of Sharja, it has lots of water, and nice beaches.

Have you ever seen the beauty that makes you cry? I did, it almost made me cry, not because it’s sad, but because it’s beautiful!

Looking forward to have a long walk in these places!
