Miho's friend leaves town

Miho found Chika san's blog before we can to Sharjah...and she has been very helpful. Good luck to her as she returns to Japan for an new life as a mother.

We live at the top of this building

On the 19th floor - at the front, so we have a good view.

Sharjah Aquariam

They say it will be good when it is finished...and what was really surprizing was the flowers I found growing in an unused section of the beach.

Nina's classmate has a party

We went to the Discovery Center...and discovered a lot.

Off to school

At the school gates.

Lots of parties

Nina was invited to a birthday party...held in a family villa. They played lots of games. Nina did well at musical chairs.

Amy is 8!

Amy is 8, and we went out to Mirdiff to look around...it looks like a good place to live.

We went to Dreamland Aqua Park

Amy is 8 tomorrow so we went to Dreamland Aqua Park today...Amy and Nina had a great time. The wave pool seemed to be the favorite. It was very busy...probably the day after Ramadan finishes is always going to be busy. On the way back we visited a nearby hotel and replenished ourselves with some much needed refreshments...the ones that are not available in Sharjah.
