Fairy Tale Land...

Flight from KL to Abu Dabi was ... really long indeed, pretty impressed with the facilities and service offered by Etihad Airways which left a good impression with me. Managed to squeeze in an hour of sleep in the end before the plane landed at Abu Dabi.

Meet up with 2 students from TOA (The One Academy) who were also going to UH(Hertfordshire). We had met during the pre-departure briefing. The four of us had a drink at the Cafe, then proceeded to board for the flight to London.
When i finally reached the campus.. after lugging around the baggage tossing it into the room, i proceeded to explode its contents before sorting it out and putting it in place. Then i went on a walk first to the Galeria for lunch, then to college lane.. then around college lane.. then back.. i think we would have clocked 3KM easily. Weather was great, clear skies, bright sunny day. This was what i had observed..

Ahh the fresh cool air...
Oh look a squirrel.
Look, a rabbit. (NO SERIOUSLY in the campus, it was running around)
Look, ducks swimming in the pond
Wild flowers and dandelions everywhere, with cosy cottage like houses how quaint and English. It was as if it were all pulled out from a fairy tale..
I had to check if the houses were cardboard cut outs.


At the pedestrian crossing traffic lights...
I pushed the button.
The sign with the words “Wait” lit up.
Within a minute the light went green and the cars slowed down.
THEY WORK!

More Jakun-ness to come..
