Moving, chapter two

For people who have barely lived in Abu Dhabi a month we certainly have visited Abu Dhabi Mall (ADM) a lot. In fact we have somehow managed to be there EVERY WEEKEND so far – the first time to look around, the second time to check out their co-op supermarket (and we found to our pleasant surprise that Yateem Optical was able to fix my broken raybans for free, hooray!), and the third time to pick up the repaired sunnies.

So it is not without irony that we have just moved yesterday to the Beach Rotana Hotel, which is adjacent to ADM by a connection at its basements. More Abu Dhabi Mall for me! Make that everyday since we no longer have to taxi nor brave the heat/UV rays!

All our life possessions here, and yeah the husband is also part of my possessions.

To be sure, we are not fans of moving around, packing and unpacking suitcases - not when we had done so less than a month ago. But when the lease at the Dusit Thani was up, we thought why the hell not , try as many places as possible.. big mistake. We miss DT already. The furnishings look right out of a movie set in the 90s. The gym/pool is a long walk away. Being adjacent to the mall means the temptation not to cook is too great, yet most of the food there is nothing to write home about. Case in point - I had KFC for lunch yesterday... 

First world complaints aside, the kitchen is well appointed, and a good kitchen makes me happy gal. Now, housing department, can we get the keys to our home quickly, please?
