Making The Right Decision

Decisions

I’m always seeking adventure and trying out new things. Sometimes I’m given the chance to do that and I love it. Other times those adventures don’t turn out the way they’re supposed to be. Hence, the risk involved in adventures.

By adventure, I mean doing something new and gaining experience or knowledge from it. It could be anything like traveling somewhere new, joining a gym, or even working at a new place.

What would you do if you thought you had signed up for an adventure, but then it turns out it’s not exciting and very time consuming? Should you continue the “adventure” hoping that some benefit will come out of it? Or, should you quit because it’s pointless?

It’s a Matter of Time.

There are a number of days left before I’m back to Kuwait. The break went by so fast. I’m in London right now and in a few days I’m going to Dubai then back to Kuwait. The weather in London has been miserable. It’s raining all the time and there’s very little sunshine throughout the day. Many exciting things happened here, but I want to post about them from my laptop. That’s because all of the really good pictures were taken on my camera. I don’t want to post crappy iPhone pictures. Something random-some of my favorite quotes about time..

“It is my feeling that Time ripens all things; with Time all things are revealed; Time is the father of truth.”
Francois Rabelais

“By the time we’ve made it, we’ve had it.”
Malcolm Forbes

“Day, n. A period of twenty-four hours, mostly misspent.”
Ambrose Bierce

My Trip – Continued

20120705-095924.jpg

Luck was truly on our side for most of this trip. The thing is, Italy was starting to win in the Eurocup! We were so excited for the Italy vs Germany game. The amazing thing is that in Milan, next to the Duomo Cathedral, there’s a huge TV that displays the game and thousands of fans line up to watch it. We missed the first half of the game, but we were still there when Italy won against Germany! It was soo much fun! The Italians were crazy! They started firing fire works and cheering like mad! Now, we weren’t lucky the second time. When the final against Spain came, well Italy losing 4-0 is quite disappointing. Everyone was so frustrated by the first half and a lot of people left by that time. We didn’t stay till the end either. It was so sad and it took all our excitement away.

PS, I’m not a fan of the Eurocup or of Italy, but I do love watching soccer games. I just had to cheer for Italy because we were there. Wouldn’t want to get beaten up.

My Trip So Far

20120704-102936.jpg

Not going to bore you with all the details, but here are the highlights of my vacation. First of, I traveled to Milan. It’s my second time in Italy, so I kind of knew what to expect. It was disappointing that there weren’t a lot of worthy touristic places + it was extremely hot. We stayed at the Boscolo Hotel which is right next to the Duomo (a huge piazza with a cathedral in the center). The hotel was very modern, but comfortable – highly recommended. There are so many shopping streets and outlets to go to. I mean Milan is known for it’s fashion industry, so shopping there is a must. We visited Lake Como that was recommended by so many people. It’s nice, but I don’t get the fuss about it. There’s a lake, mountains, and
a couple of restaurants. We went up one of the mountains, but other than the amazing view, there’s nothing. We also visited Gardaland. It’s a movie theme park. It requires an entire day or even more to get through most of the rides. We went there only for a couple of hours, but it was worth it. Really great rides! I just love roller coasters and there are great rides for kids too. We got the chance to visit Venice. It’s a long ride to get there, but it was worth it. In a bunch of hours we were able to see most of it. I think if one spent two days in it, it would be enough. There’s not much to do. We also went to Verona, another major city. It’s known for the Romeo and Juliet play. It’s worth going to and exploring the place. It’s not very big, but it’s filled with things to do. That’s it for now. More posts about the trip coming up!

Tree Hotel

The other day, I found out about a new hotel concept that I simply fell in love with. It’s the perfect honeymoon destination. It’s somewhere in Sweden, but its far away from the city. The hotel consist of 24 rooms in the middle of a forest where each room is on top of a tree. It overlooks a river and its surrounded by mountains. There are so many activities offered by the hotel that vary based on the season. This place is definitely on my bucket list.

I’m Off

I can’t believe summer is halfway done! I’m traveling tonight and by the time I’m back it’s going to be Ramadan. The past month was very busy, so the next three weeks will be 100% relaxation – I hope. I just finished packing, but I still didn’t prepare posts for when I’m gone. I left it last because it’s time consuming and I really needed inspiration to hit before I start writing. The other thing I have to do is to get a camera cover for my new camera! I’m going to be posting it about it soon. It’s a Canon G1X and that’s what I’m going to use for when I’m traveling. I wish you all the best. Enjoy every bit of your summer and never give up on your dreams!

Where to Eat in Dubai?

I have been to Dubai countless times that it feels just like home. I’m going there next weekend and so is my friend. She hasn’t been to Dubai in a long time, so she asked me about where to eat in Dubai. I didn’t know how to answer. There are so many places to go to that nothing popped in my head. I blanked out. Seriously. The only thing that came to mind after a while was La Petite Maison. It’s one of my favorite restaurants there. The food is fresh, and best of all, the taste is exquisite. Of course, there are lots of restaurants in the malls, but what she’s looking for is something that’s special in Dubai. Anyways, I need HELP! Where are the best places to eat in Dubai??
Know of any good deals? Any suggestions will be highly appreciated!

Milan Hotel Suggestions

My family and I have been thinking of going to Milan this summer. We’re still not sure if we’re going because we want to keep our options open. We have been asking around a lot about which hotel is the best, but we can’t seem to decide on one. An ideal hotel would be one that is in the center with good service and new, clean rooms.

Has anyone been there? Where did you stay?
