Hello!

There's been a lot of neighbor trouble around here....also good things, but it's been stressful.
I went and talk to this guy and told him in short, to "watch it!" but I think he may now be just mad at my friend, though she had nothing to do with me talking to him. Oh, well....he needed to know that.
Traffic here is absolutely a nightmare. Sometimes the roads are like a parking lot, all the way through Dubai...it's crazy. Other times there are only specific places or specific times when it's bad. Dubai actually doens't have bad roads-they're better than Michigan by far! It's just that there are so many people. Instead of building all these new huge apartments (probably about a hundred at once, no exaggeration) they should be building more villas. There is shortage of them; they're prettier, they last longer, and then traffic won't be half as bad. They think they will fill up in no time, but I'm not really sure. The compounds or freestanding villas tend to be nice, whereas even good apartments aren't that great and people don't want to live there.
We'll see what happens!

I'm waiting for people to get home from school....I got done quickly today and took a nap ;) I can't wait for the end of October! We're going to Al Ain, Abu Dhabi (the capital of the UAE), for the conference. There isn't going to be a teen program so my friend Samuel (who lives in Bahrain) and I are putting one together. I will organize a Bible/book study on Biblical femininity etc. It should be a good time of fun and reconnecting with some of my best friends from other countries around here.
The only problem is that my friend in the compound, Luz, is having her birthday party during that time, and I'll miss it. I wouldn't mind so much except that Humberto's band was going to play and I don't want to miss their first little gig! Heh, those guys are fun people. If only they could get a vocalist who would stop trying to change their style!
