Trip to Jakarta

Well it is almost 6 months I am here in Dubai. So once again I need to renew my Visa. So this time I decided to take a vacation (2 weeks in Jakarta and 2 weeks in Kerala).

I got a direct flight from Dubai-Jakarta; it was around 10 hour’s journey. My trip was in Ramzan month and I was fasting also. Two Saudi citizens were sitting next to my seat in the flight. Each time when they ate food they were reminding me to break fasting. I know it is not strict to take fasting during long journey. But I refused No.. No…Nonnono..!!. he..he.. actually I know the time zone between Dubai and Jakarta was 3 hours less, So the fasting time was 3 hours less for me that day, 3 hours saved, eppadi!..

Onam Celebration- “Thottoolku sammanam”

Well I had a chance to attend a Onam celebration function in Dubai with my sisters and relatives. The event are conducted by those who are working in different Medias from Kerala.

The musical chair event for children was very interesting.. Those who fail/out early they will get the prize early. So kids are very happy and rushing to get out from the game

Trip to Muscat- Visa renewal

The maximum stay in UAE with a visting visa is 3 months only. If we need to extend our stay with another Visit Visa we have to go out the country and back. So my company suggested me to make a trip to Muscat(Oman) for the same. I did my trip in Kish Airlines; it was like a formality trip. Dubai-Muscat-Dubai trip with 30 minutes stay in Muscat Airport. We remained in same flight itself.
Eee tripinte Valla avashyavum undooo, UAE Govt. nte oru kaaaryam!!!.

Train Bus

Well Dubai introduced long Bus. I asked many people what I can call this bus. finally I decided to call ‘Train Bus’. Because the seats are allocated face-to-face similar in train.






This bus is connected to GPS (Global Positioning System) also. So it will display the bus route as well as the next stop. But the problem is the stop names are not the names that the common people are using.

Buses In Dubai.

The bus transport facility in Dubai is very good. Now Dubai Govt. decided to buy another 600 buses more to increase their bus transport facility. The fare also reasonable. Few days back one day I was going back to my place from my work place in a Pubic transport bus. Suddenly the AC system of my bus (sorry not mine the bus I was traveling,) got failed and it was really difficult to sit after the AC failure. Because we could not open any of the windows other than one or two. The bus manufactured by Benz. But after 30 minutes the spare bus came from Depo and all passengers moved to the spare bus. The interesting part is even f

ailure the board will display “Out of Service”. There is only driver work as employee in a Bus. The driver itself will give ticket when we get in and the doors also oeprated by him.

Highest Tallest

BurjDubai - Day and Night
I think the Dubai people are affected by ‘st mania. They want everything highest, widest, largest etc. The Burj Dubai building is the highest building in the world now. Still the construction is not completed. This building is on the way to my office so I can watch the progress daily. I heard that the basement of this building was they constructed with high capacity to make the tallest building for any time. So if Dubai people hear that any body is thinking to beat the height of this building by constructing another one, these
people will take a helicopter and ‘randu nila koodi mukalil panithittu thirichu varum’.. See their official site for the comparison of the height with other big buildings like Petronas Tower. http://www.burjdubai.com/

Now they are planning to build the biggest airport also.
