"Independent study"

That's what spring break is called here. I'm not sure why.

Hmmm... Spring break in the Emirates. I wonder what it is like for the typical college student. According to those who have been there, the beaches here rival any in America, but... needless to say, there would be no body shots, MTV wet t-shirt contests or public drunkenness.

That's good. It will leave them more time for independent study.

    I've seen body shots and breast-grabbing at the rugby club bar late at night. So it is the Ft. Lauderdale of the UAE. To continue the analogy...UAEU is the Harvard. Ras Al Khaimah is the Arkansas. Abela is Dean & Deluca. Carrefoure is Target. Starbucks is Starbucks...

    1. I obviously need to join the rugby club.

    2. I agree with all but Carrefoure. It is Wal Mart... all the way down to the odd smelling patrons.
