One of our major concerns was to get Momo, our dog to Dubai, and to find a place suitable for her to stay at.

Things worked out pretty well, we have located a very good company for the relocation services, and Momo arrived to Dubai without any major hassle. She was beaten up for a day or two, but got acclimatized quickly.

Greens in Dubai is a very good place to have a dog, specially a small one like ours. The neighborhood is very much acceptable towards dogs, and walking them is comfortable around the buildings.

We now have another dog from a friend of ours, we look after him until the owners take their annual leave in Japan. Look at the pictures, they speak for themselves. We are walking the dogs in lush greenery, you would think this is a place with plenty of rain and a Mediterranean climate, which in fact it isnt.

More later on the dogs and transport procedures.

Cheers,

So after having the Driver’s license completed, the next task was obvious. Getting a car that is. I had my eyes on this G35 Coupe for a while, I even drove one back a month ago, but I was still thinking on other models as well. The 350Z and the Porsche Boxster. The Porsche is obviously more expensive, so I could have only bought a 2002-2003 model, which isn’t very promising here in Dubai, specially now that the government is thinking about banning cars aged over 10 years. After all I decided next to the Infiniti for the following reasons:

Very fast and powerful yet comfortable to sit in

Has 4 seats over 2 like that other candidates had, this of course is more of a wife-like concern :)

There aren’t many G35 Coupes on the road, which makes it more unique

Once I narrowed down the selection, I was off to buy the car, and here is the outcome. Read on for more info.

Hi
So here we are in Dubai, with no public transportation what so ever, and our life has started on a fast lane with no time to spare. I feel like back in Los Angeles, where you could hardly do anything without a car. Getting a car of course is easy provided you have money or are eligible for a loan, but can you drive it? Well if you happen to be unfortunate enough for being a Hungarian, you cannot unless you go through Driving school all over again. Read on for the adventure of getting a driver’s license in Dubai….
