Happy..blue, excited..demotivated, scared...confident, hyper...silent, nostalgic to Egypt...already missing Abu Dhabi...i swear am not exagerating all these feelings are there at the moment.
So back to Egypt it is and farewell Emirates..incredible would have never volunterily taken such a decision and hell it s not easy.
So i guess it's my turn now for the picture taking, the farewell cake and the sobbing
That was quick..the three years have flown by.
I can never deny that i enjoyed this experience alot.No matter how suspicious i was when i first landed.
On the 1st inctance Abu Dhabi could appear as an extremely boring place and to a degree it is but nice boring if such a word exists.
Living in Abu Dhabi is very much like getting into an arranged marriage thing.
You sort of get used to it, the routine, the monotony everything and that makes the goodbye extremely tough.
What makes it even tougher is the pleasant memories i have here, the peace of mind that i doubt you can find anywhere else...least of all in Egypt.
I ll be missing the corniche on sunny days, the smooth traffic, the indian restaurants, the fine dining, Zyara the cosiest hang out in the world, i ll be missing the shopping the malls the availiability of everything within 5 minutes.
I ll be missing the friends i made here, especially the non Egyptian ones coz sooner or later we are bound to meet
As for the others (Indians and lebanese)whenever i look into their faces it's painful ...we might not meet again.
I ll be deffinetely missing UNB and UNB people...
the concerts, my caaaaar
Gosh good byes are never easy
But hey there are also stuff am never gonna miss like the sight of our local brothers feddling with their toes, the blocked internet sites, the rocket high rents,
the landlord's rep, being an Expat, the smelly patan taxi drivers, the intolerable heat and humidity, artificial plants, the excessive use of superlatives " The biggest, tallest, bla bla bla "
In addition to the emotional closures there is ofcourse the materialistic angle, my apt, the car, the job etc.
Too many things on my mind a cocktail of emotions, a chaos of everything
I sure hope it gets over soon.
