The hot hazy weather of Dubai is reaching its peaks and surely is a sign of summer! June 21st marks the first day of summer and also the day with the most sunlight in the year! I think I'd rather stay indoors if that's the case. My mind keeps telling me that I shouldn't and that I have to get outside and get some exercise; not in this heat mate!
Living in Dubai, I come across this problem every summer; not knowing what to do. As I am of the many families that don't travel very much. I end up staying at home not knowing what exactly to do. I've always tried to get a summer job until a couple of years ago as my attempts have always failed. Tried thinking of getting some sort of exercise routine that involves swimming and stuff; how much can a person swim? Mall hopping is not an option. Its a problem I think many of our youths here have trouble with. Ultimately, I always end up at network cafes wasting my life on video gaming; very popular during the summer as you can spend lots of time indoors playing games with friends, but there's only so much a person can play.
It really is a predicament for me and my friends. Finding free ways to spend my time has been my goal this summer. I ended up finding a place to watch feature length International and Arab films, I found that the Abu Dhabi Film Festival was screening films at The Pavilion Downtown Dubai; What an opportunity! Then again, it only gets me through 2 hours of my day. Maybe I should check out the Dubai Summer Surprises.
Any suggestions?
Happy Summer, Everyone!
