Dubai / Smiling BKK – Cute and quirky Thai restaurant in Dubai

Dubai / Safa Park Flea Market & The Archive Dubai – Serendipity
The first Saturday of every month allows me to feed one addiction and to torment myself while trying to abstain from the other: I get to go to the Safa Park Flea Market and I get to not buy books!

I am picky about my music: it doesn’t make me wanna head-bang, I don’t wanna listen to it. There are exceptions to this rule though.Like when the singer is a Turkish superstar.And your buddy Tara, aka Neslihan, has given you tickets to an invite-only gala dinner followed by a private concert of the said superstar.… Continue reading Tarkan
PADI is a good word this weekend
I loved the crisis for a few reasons (and hated it for many). I think one of the best things that came out of it was the discount sites that allow you to experience things you really do not wish to pay full price for whilst allowing the vendors to give you a ridiculously low… Continue reading PADI is a good word this weekend
