Best movie experience soo far!

Ya I know, I said that the next post would be about Abu Dhabi.

(Sorry no photos of that place. Didn't think about taking pictures).

Ya sorry, I lied. there is just to much fun going on that I had to right about it!! So last night I had a great time with friends. Went to dinner at this Korean chicken place called "Kim Chicken" in Dubai! All I have to say is look out KFC and Popeye's cause if this place decides to become a chain then they can take all my money! ( also I'd be fat. cause fried food make you fat). Then we went to a place called " The Irish Village" which made me feel right at home! All the green and pub atmosphere a little Irish boy could want!



But that brings us to tonight! where Dippy, Veronique ( who from now on will be referred to as La Cat.) and I went to see a movie in the most talked about way! Vox Gold experience! And let me tell you something, reading audience! It was the best way to watch a movie in theater I have ever had!

So here's the run down. Once you pay for your ticket you ,go to a private lounge, where you of course, lounge. But whilst lounging you pick out food to have during the movie! Then once it's time to get your seats you calmly find it. cause they look like this!

Such rich Corinthian leather!! Oh and they recline and there are only like 30 of them. So you practically get the theater to yourself. Soo quiet, So comfy. I went in with a backache and I didn't feel a thing from my back while watching the movie!








So once you are good and settled and the trailers are playing, you get a reminder that you had placed an order of food cause a ninja -like employee comes and delivers the food to your seat.
Even when they got La Cat's food wrong the first time. They delivered in the middle of the movie and I barely noticed an employee come back with the right thing.




The only problem I had was that the "eating light" that they have to help you identify the food on you plates kinda shone on my shoe. Which if I where a normal person I would have not worn my neon yellow running shoes.










But all in all was a good experience and I wish all theaters were like the Vox Gold Experience.I think while I am here I will strive to watch most movies in such a fashion!
















And to end this Blog post off I would like to here some feed back. Mostly about my hair. What do you guys think?




Does the long straight hair suit me? I think I have a good look here but lets hear your opinion.

Day to Day of a house spouse!!

So a friend recently asked when the next blog post would be ( you know who you are, and thank you.)
I was thinking of posting about being a house spouse in the U.A.E. mostly that I am male. and apparently to the mass here,  I should be " a proper man and have a job.
The wife stays at home and cooks!" literal quote from a local. It just shows how two cultures can collide in many ways. but I digress.

My life is amazing right now!! I really could not complain. Everything is going to plan and both Dippy and I are really happy! The facilities here are amazing.

My Itinerary for day to day is thus:

9-10 - Read ( Anything, Dippy got me Cockpit confidential. Which so far is a great book! If Patrick Smith flies to Sharjah I would love to talk to him. Also Naruto)

10- 12- Cleaning. ( Which includes scrubbing the toilets. I could get a maid. But then I would be bored)
12- 1 - Lunch with Dippy and her co-workers. ( We have really bonded with them! they are really cool friends)

1-3- Gym and swimming ( But lets be honest. I end the work out after an hour. Cause you can only watch two episode of archer!! lol But I have lost ten pounds so far!! YAY)

3-5 - Free time/ prep for dinner. ( Most of this time gets take up by Wow or whatever is new in my life. Cause I have a short attention span! lol)

5- Until bed time.
This point in my time I spend time with Dippy. Cause I really have the personality of a puppy. I miss her when she's gone and get excited when she comes home. Sometimes we will play wow together or read whilst cuddling in the bed. But as of 5, it's time to spend quality time with my girl! Cause she provides an AMAZING life! Seriously if you don't believe me have a look at the pictures!!






Bonus pics!!! Caught this guy the first week of being here!! as you can see he/she was set free unharmed!!!

Hop-Along the Wonder Pup Catches All the Readers Up

Bigitty blog, bi bi bi bigitty blog time!!!

This is a time rewind blog post to fill you in on what happened between the trip to Britain and now in the U.A.E

Last time we left our intrepid heroes they were tripping across the Britain.

But here's were I catch you up! including picture! YAY! Sooo after the trip to Britain, Dippy moved to Montreal to do her Masters degree. and I promptly followed her and proposed like a good doggy...................I mean man. like a gentle man. any who! That's when I got the call to travel, and left Dippy to her own! Traveling to Turks and Caicos was amazing! I learned so much! and had soo much fun! Met so many people ( which I probably should still keep in touch with............ oups).




Club Med is a blast! Everyone should go! Specially Turquoise if you have no children!

I learned that I'm better at french then I thought, Scuba diving is awesome, crabs dig holes in the beaches and much more!








Dippy came to visit me this time in Turks & Caicos. I showed her the sights and then she left. but about a month later I got an email to be a manager at a hotel in Montreal.So I felt Club Med, but didn't get the job. But it meant that I was with Dippy. And that always makes me happy.





After Montreal we moved back to our home town. ( unfortunately with Dippy's parents.) And hung out with our friends again! But nothing happened in that time. That period was fun. But not Adventurous.


It continued like that for a few months. Dippy and I taking jobs where they came. Dippy worked in the Canadian Broadcast Corp for a little while. Got to see Chris Hadfield. ( That man is my new personal hero! ) and hangout and see some/ be in some recordings of  George Stroumboulopoulos. He's pretty cool! Then just after the CBC. Dippy got a few job offers, one to Palau. to be the Director of the library there. Had it payed more we would be there instead. But the other was the job in U.A.E. and you can guess what offer we took.

But getting the job meant that we had to pull together a wedding that we were pushing of to save up money! So with the kindness of  friends, family and even some strangers. We pulled together our wedding in a month. It was a fantastic wedding. Then just as fast as the wedding, we skipped off to Sharjah!




And now to your regular posting!
Stay tuned for more Adventures of Dippy Jones and her Wonder Pup!
