Well Hannes is safe and sound and had his first work day in Dubai. Yesterday On the phone he was "O hell what have i done. Hope this not a mistake!" He had a walk around last night and early to bed he says. Had a good sleep and was to work today. He is fetched by the company from the B+B and takes about 45minutes in traffic. He is now in the same area as to where we will stay, so the traffic situation seems OK. He says where we will stay looks nice from outside. Could not go in as no one available to open.They are busy with lots of paperwork and orientation at the moment so no patients as yet. The Hospital only officially opens on 1 September. I will be in Dubai when that happens so maybe some cocktails and drinks to open the hospital.......
Hannes is so happy today and says it looks fantastic. He thinks he is going to be very happy the hospital and people seem very nice and efficient.Work very good and new and first world. He has to go to work in tie and suit. They are still very formal. At that heat it seems so silly but hey he always looks good in a tie and all is in air conditioning.
They had to meet all and tell about themselves. (Sound like a AA meeting to me you know hello my name is Hannes and I am .......) HA HA HA
Our apartment is apparently ready t move in and Hannes will sort that out tomorrow and he has to open a bank account ASAP. Nothing else can work or be done with no banking details....... like the hold up with the apartment is banking details to do the DEWA (Dubai electricity and water) ... Then he to get a car....must have banking details to do that too....
He says the company was very amazed to find out his apartment is arranged and done and the area....The Arabs don't know me yet hey......That was all me before he left...... Well organised...
I miss him alot and it is so different than when I travel alone as I always know where he is and what it looks like where he is. Now I have only empty cupboards, beside tables, no smell of his deodorant etc. BUT I still can talk to hm. This is going to be more expensive than we planned as I think our pone bill will be huge....... I did not budget for that. When I go to Dubai we will have to set up skype and Hannes will then have my old laptop..HA HA HA he then has to lean to use the bleddie thing...
The hospital does their lunches at work so he at least is fed.....
Hannes is gob smacked with Dubai. Huge first world city with so many choices and all available and can be done. O he found his lost luggage. Not bad going that with 6 pieces of luggage only 1 get lost.....
He says I will have a big problem to leave Dubai after my visit. He says Emirates mall is amazing... ell I have 3 weeks to go on my expeditions and find out for myself. Better get myself jacked up at Ermanno and Clydene will be in Dubai on 1 September for a visit.
I have to plan Hannes's 50th birthday. It will only be the 2 of us in Dubai. The Burj is totally out of the question so maybe camels in the dessert or something.......
I wonder what car we will have there. Me I go taxi taxi for some time until I now the place and driving n the right.
Tomorrow I go for Visa arrangement for my visit and I need some clothes. So I am going shopping.....
Chat later
