I Have spent the day researching the Tokyo trip and posting updates from the holiday a couple of weeks ago. I was also waiting for the Satellite TV guys to call and replace my box for a new one. The Satellite guys eventually rang at 7pm. It’s not unusual for people over here to be working late …….Continue reading Directions So what have I been up to recently I hear you cry!?Well I have recently been finalising a two-week holiday that I have planned for the first two weeks of June.

Fortunately for me driving to work is a very short affair. This morning with a slight chill to the air I jumped into my car for the five minute drive to work.

Thank you. Etisalat-101 This is strange as the chap on Saturday could not send me an SMS Rang Etisalat to see how my connection was going.. afterall it had gone pretty quiet and maybe I’d missed a call whilst in China. Now the line was not the clearest in the world (which is kind of ironic) so I only part heard something about no ports available and that they would raise a complaint …….Continue reading Etisalat Part #6 It was Saturday and I was heading out to China the next day. As it had been almost ten days since I ordered the ADSL I rang up Etisalat. I was greeted by a very polite man who informed me that everything was going well. The fibre was being laid and I should be connected soon. …….Continue reading Etisalat Part #5 I had to head into the city during the day as I needed to collect the insurance for my new car. Having previously learnt that the third floor was the place to go I headed straight to the two men at the end of the floor. The queue was short and the Emirati man was extremely …….Continue reading Etisalat Part #4 |
