Big Fish!

This weekend I went to Abu Dhabi Fish Market.
You can buy all sorts of fish there, as well as crabs,lobsters, prawns and squid.

Look at the size of this fish!





They also sell KING PRAWNS! :)





These cats live nearby.
Maybe they get lots of free fish ?

At the Barbers!

The other day I went for a haircut at the Indian barber shop

in Bastakiya.

The barber did a pretty good job.
And then when he finished cutting my hair he gave my head a massage!

All for 15 dirhams (about £2.50)

I didnt get a lollypop though :(

Will you get a haircut in Dubai next time you visit Che Che?

Xray Vision

Today I had to go for my medical checkup so that I cna renew my visa and stay working here Che Che.

Remember I went last year? 1 year ago in fact.
Well this year it was the same.

I had to line up with all the workers again, & once again we had to take our shirts off and then the doctor called us into the Xray room & took a chest Xray. This time I took a sneaky picture while we were in line. Here it is:

After the X-ray we had to give a blood sample. Ouch!
But I was very brave and didnt cry. :)

Will you be brave when you go for a medical Che Che?

Motorcyle Mayhem!

Look Che Che. Someone brought a motorbike right into
the college & the students tried drawing it!

Bet you would have liked to ride it round the building like this boy!
Brrrrm! BRRRRRMMMM!

Little Beastie!

Look Che che!

Here is my new Jeep!
Its like a small 'Beastie'


I had to take it to the Dubai Registration place



Where they check it over.



and fit new number plates!

Young Guns!

Salaam Che Che! (this means hello in Arabic)
I am back in Dubai, and it is the end of Ramadan.
so all the local Emirati are on holiday & celebrating.

They call this holiday Eid.




They have been fasting (not eating) for a whole month during Ramadan (although I think the big man in the picture forgot about this). When Ramadan comes to an end they have a big celebration with lots of food and dancing.

Only the men are allowed to dance though, and they like to dance with camel whips and toy guns! And they like to twirl and throw their toy guns.

They twirl it around.






And then throw it up very high up!
Then catch it!

Could you do that with your gun Che Che?

Dont drop it! (like this boy did!)

After the Fire

When they finally managed to put it out there was still lots of smoky rubbish.
They had to scoop it up with a digger and then hose it to cool it down.

The fireman was very tired & very thirsty & needed a rest and a drink!

Kaboom!

Another big Fire Che Che.
With a BIG explosion!

KABOOOOM!




This time I managed to get pictures of the firemen trying to put the fire out.
Can you see them high up on their ladder?





Does Fireman Sam's ladder go that high?

Fire Trucks

These are the Fire Engines back at the Station
after putting out the fire.

Can you see the ladder on top,the hose at the back,?

And look at all the tools in the middle!
There is a fire axe, big cutters and a big big saw!

Fire!

There was a huge fire at the Paint Factory this morning Che Che.

It was so big & it made so much smoke I thought the weather had turned cloudy!

All the fire engines in Dubai and Sharjah came to try & put it out.

They sprayed it with their big hoses
It took all day before it was properly under control.

Do you think Fireman Sam could have done better?

:)

Chocolate Cake!

Do you remember the big tall building with all the fireworks we saw
Che Che?

Well someone made a big chocolate cake of it!

Its a very big cake dont you think?

Its a lot bigger than you!
And Much bigger than mummy!

Bet she would still try and eat it all though!

:)

The Animals came in 2 by 2.

Che che.


Did I tell you that I am designing an animal sanctuary in Dubai ?

Its a home for animals that have nowhere else to live.
Its run by a lady called Ayesha.


At the moment she keeps them at her house. But she has so many she has run out of room for them all. So we are going to build a big house for them. Will you help us build it?


These are pictures of her with some of her animals.


Which one is your favourite one?
I like the baby owl.

Monster Trucks!

Look at the size of this truck Che!

But you need to bring a ladder to climb in...
