I just got back to Abu Dhabi a week ago, after a wonderful time home with family and friends, to be greeted with the above sight. Driving into work in the fog after a 7 hour flight and 5 hours sleep and after a month's driving on the opposite side of the road was truly surreal. I could not see beyond 50m, and in the picture, my office building which could typically be seen in the background past the stop signs has completely vanished. Thankfully the fog lasted only 3 days, and it's back to sunny days with temperatures between 15 to 25 which is awesome..
It was great to be home, and I was reminded of all the things I loved about Malaysia and more. Being away for 1 year was tough and I feel like I had a new set of eyes when I was home. I saw how much greenery we had, how much street life there was, felt the buzz of the city and smelt the rain everyday..all things that I have missed being here in the desert.
I've also started horse riding lessons, and had my first lesson yesterday. I love the feel of the horse, and how good it feels to be outdoors..if only we had this weather all year round, Abu Dhabi would be a much better place to live!
