A few entries down I posted about the signs for appropriate dress that I saw in one of the malls. Well, if you have a minute or two, check out this article! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29723610/from/ET Apparently they are making new rules or laws that can be enforced about proper behavior in Dubai. This all stems from the British couple who had sex on the beach here last summer and were jailed.
Aaron and I actually already follow a lot of these rules but now they are talking about fining people or putting them in detention (whatever that means) if they are caught breaking any of the rules. As for now, wearing appropriate dress and not kissing or holding hands in public are suggestions but I guess they are looking to make that more of a law. The only one I will have trouble with is the swearing. I swear like a sailor and really need to watch it when I'm in public places. Yikes! The last thing I want to do is call Aaron and tell him he has to bail me out because I dropped an f-bomb at the mall!
About Me
- The Vanneys
- Aaron and I met as freshman at WPI in 2000 and married in September 2006. We originally moved from Worcester, MA (where WPI is located) to Chicago, IL for Aaron's job in 2005. We lived in Chicago for 3.5 years. During this time Aaron worked for Rolf Jensen Associates (RJA) as a fire protection engineer and I went to DePaul University and obtained my masters degree in nursing. In January 2009, we moved to Dubai, UAE for Aaron's job with RJA. We plan on being here 2-3 years and are loving every minute of living abroad!! On August 13th, 2009 we were blessed with the birth of our daughter, Veronica Aileen! She is the center of our world and we love her so much! This blog is to help keep our family and friends up to date on what our lives are like here in Dubai!
