.....

Hello!

We went to the desert again a few days ago. It was fun, but noisy because a ton of local kids on quad bikes were going in circles around and around us!
Several Oasis (youth group) friends were in school plays and musicals last week, so we went to support them. It was amazing! They were great performances.

I have finally been to the Mall of the Emirates. It's one gargantuan mall! I went with Ashlea and it was very enjoyable. We went, as always, to Starbucks! Followed closely after by Forever 21, Bershka, and H&M. Once again I was reminded of the incredible immodesty of our culture. It makes me so frustrated sometimes! Places like Forever 21 have such adorable clothes....yet almost everything isn't appropriate to wear as a daughter of the King.
I plan to write a letter to them (and perhaps a few other places here) and have people from Oasis, church, and otherwise, to sign a petition. It wouldn't be a very long one...but at least they'd know that there are western girls in Dubai who don't want to show everything.

That is so true. You'd think that here in the Arab world, they'd provide stuff with more modesty. And you'd think that SOMEONE who runs these stores would GET A CLUE. But it's the way they like it.
