I just wanted to say how great it has been to find your blog. I am an american in Sweden considering Al Ain for a year or so, and your blog gives me exactly the perspective we need to get a feel for how it would be! It has been a huge part of how we weigh the decision, and I wanted to thank you for so beautifully documenting your adventures. A feminist librarian with a love for etsy from Ohio at home with a small kid who sepnt a year in Al Ain....the perfect reviewer for our family! I hope you have enjoyed your move back home and you are full of happy sunny memories from your time abroad.SwedeLifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02120190870636748590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1013704542296298727.post-8460772147878491842010-08-12T18:34:28.353+04:002010-08-12T18:34:28.353+04:00Hi. I found the same sign in my room at Le Meridien in Paris three weeks ago. And yes, I took it too. I have been in 41 countries since 1978 and this was the most charming &#39;do not distrub&#39; sign I have ever seen. The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page. <br />MarthaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1013704542296298727.post-62719579166434445482010-05-19T04:48:17.453+04:002010-05-19T04:48:17.453+04:00omg my family is going to dubai next year and i cant wait to see the under water mall and dubailand its so bigAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1013704542296298727.post-48745534811820657782010-05-18T16:05:09.581+04:002010-05-18T16:05:09.581+04:00I am no longer in Al Ain and am not sure of the specifics.
