So for those of you who have been following my blog and perhaps have wondered where I have been for the past, oh, 5 weeks or so, I am currently in Abu Dhabi, UAE.  I arrived here 4 days ago to attend a student conference, Education Without Borders 2007 which pooled together over 800 students from over 100 countries to discuss international issues plaguing mainly the developing world such as access to education, response to natural disasters, and poverty.  More remarks on the conference to come...

I depart from the lovely city of Abu Dhabi in 2 hours to enter the hellish chaos that is Dubai.  Abu Dhabi is manageable, calm and actually receives a nice onshore breeze, even in the heart of downtown.  Birds song is audible, not muted by the cacophony of car horns.  It would be delightful to remain in Abu Dhabi for a few days, but alas, I must return to Dubai for work and to see friends...

on ward to Dubai!

HI KIM!!!!
Crud, I thought you were in Dubai already! How long you staying in Abu Dhabi? I was planning on coming out there this weekend...maybe tomorrow.

Oh by the way, this is Liz.

You know of any reasonably-priced hotels?
