You know You Can Call Abu Dhabi "Home" When....

1. ... the weather falls under 100 degrees and it feels like fall is on the way!


2. ... you are used to everyone calling you "Madam" (sounds like Mah-dahm) everywhere you go!

3. ...it no longer fazes you that the water from the cold tap comes out warm!

4. ...every conversation with someone you just meet starts with, "Where are you from?" and "How long have you been here?"

5. ...your English is getting worse with each passing day.  And after being here three months you speak like a five year old!  At least I'm not having to learn a new language, or is it one?

6. ...everyone stares at you everywhere you go and you no longer notice!

7. ...you get used to every meal out is at least a two hour adventure, unless of course you eat fast food, and that's only forty-five minutes!

8. ... you don't even notice that you have given directions all the way across town with only landmarks and hardly mention any street names!
