One thing I am enjoying back in Oz is the small things. Stupid really, but living back in Australia is back in the real world. Unless you've lived in the UAE would you understand this.
I visited a Coles Supermarket yesterday for the first time on over three years. I forgot how much I love Coles. And to be able to practically get what you want in the one shop instead of having to visit three. And having a choice of 'dips'. Oh my, I have missed dips. You get a bit over Hummus when that is practically all on offer there if you don't want to pay a small fortune. Smiths Crinkle Cut Crisps - proper Chicken flavour. *drool*. Cheese and Bacon Balls. Twisites. Cheezels. (See a trend here?) DIM SIMS. Fish'n'Chips. Lamingtons. Vanilla Slice. Proper sliced Bread. Butter that spreads instantly from the fridge! Milk with longer than four days use-by. Buying booze freely. (Though I did miss the big black bag that your alcohol gets placed in before you leave the store.) Target. Big W. BBQ sausages.
I know in time there will be things I will miss about the UAE. Number one would be the ultra cheap petrol. I'm dreading the first time I have to fill up the car. And having to get out of the car and pump the petrol yourself? Nup - not looking forward to that. *heehee*
But the main thing I am missing currently about the UAE is my husband! But it isn't forever and we will see him again in no time.
