dream vacation?

sleeping late, feasting, dancing,

2) If you could be one
superhero, who would you
be and why?
Omar: Umm… no idea really!
I wouldn’t want to be anyone
else!
Christina: Elektra, because
she is swift, powerful, a deadly
assassin, a force for good, a foe
to be reckoned with, a loyal
friend, and a goddess draped
in red silk.
“My name is Mohammed Al Disougi but friends call
me Hamoodie. I'm 16 years old. I was born in Abu
Dhabi but originally I'm from Khartoum, Sudan. My
father got a better job, so we came to UAE. Since I
was raised here, I think it’s best to finish university
education from Abu Dhabi. Then I plan to look for a
job and stay in the capital permanently.
“I have lot of dreams that I want to accomplish
in this life time. When I was young, I wanted to
become a basketball player. I still like the game but
it's more of a recreation now. The profession of law
attracts me these days because it’s a well paid job
and I will probably get to help people and bring
some peace to their unsettled lives. My goal in life is
to get a proper education first and then lend a hand
to those who are suffering. I want to be one of the
revered intellectuals in whichever field I choose.
“The lifestyle in Abu Dhabi is very entertaining.
It's conservative but then again, it’s fun! People
have the right to express themselves within the
boundaries of the law. I wouldn't change anything
because I'm satisfied with my life here.
“To people who come here from abroad,
I recommend that they should go to see Emirates
Palace and the sandy beaches of Abu Dhabi. If they
wish to have some fun, they can visit the numerous
clubs and Marina Mall.
“I think that everybody should try different things in
their life and travel to different places in the world.
Like here in Abu Dhabi, you get the opportunity to
learn so much about Arabian culture and lifestyle
through interacting with many people, sometimes
they are complete strangers but you can learn so
much from them. This is how some of the myths
about Middle Eastern countries can get shattered,
like the fact that people think that they are too
strict. That’s so not true! My message to such people
is to come here and judge for yourself.”
