I'm still here :)

Sorry, I haven't been on in a long time. I am still teaching in the UAE. This is my 3rd school year (been here almost 2 years). I found this site took a very long time when trying to upload pictures so I just resorted to Facebook and kind of forgot about the blog. I was looking back over the old posts and realized it would be nice to continue it, although there may be fewer pictures uploaded from now on.
I got back in Abu Dhabi Aug 31st. Started school Sept 2nd and have kids starting tomorrow the 9th.

I spent this past weekend in the city, stayed at the Le Royal Meridien. Very nice. It was my first stay there and I would recommend it. It was about 400AED. Went to PJ's Irish Bar in the same hotel with some friends. Went there at 6 and downstairs was packed. People dancing and partying, and the music was good. A lot of 80's stuff and a live band which played a lot of popular songs and were very good. Ordered the fish & chips which was ok, but being from Newfoundland my standards are pretty high. The fish actually came out on these long skewers, very odd, like fish kabobs. The beer on tap was great :)
