Sun, sea and business.
That’s the definition of Dubai.
There’s almost no oil anymore so they’re doing everything for tourism:
- They dropped 2 planes in the sea to make a diver’s paradise.
- They drop 1 kg gold in the sea every day, the person who finds it, can keep it.
- They have a group of islands called the “Palm Islands”.
- There’s a big wild water park called “Wild Wadi”.
- Much more…

The Palm Islands

The reason why I’m telling you guys about this is because I’m going there from the 7th of april ’till the 15th of april.
It’s not just a vacation; it’s with a dancegroup I’m in.
That’s right, a dancegroup.
The dancegroup is called Imago Tijl. It’s modern dance and you would be surprised how many boys are in it.

Anyway, it’ll be fun, fun, fun and I’ll laugh at you all when I’m sitting in the airplane on my way to

DUBAI! دبيّ

Allergy

Damn, I hate those allergies.
Every year, when spring has begun, my eyes hurt continually, I have to sneeze constantly and as if that isn’t enough yet, I have asthma that gets activated by the allergy.
Most people think that only geeks have asthma. It’s actually pretty annoying ’cause when I say to someone that I have asthma, they automatically say “Geek!”.
I’m not a geek, though. Okay, I admit that I’m good at school, study my music a lot and can sit behind my computer all night, but that doesn’t say anything.
However, back to my allergies.
I have quite a lot allergies: trees in spring, most fruit and vegetables, cats, dust mite, etc.
I sneeze all year: in autumn and winter because of the cold, in spring because of my allergies and in summer to make the circle round.
People always think that I’m crying when my eyes start hurting, the problem is that they always start hurting when someone is talking to me and I have to look them into the eyes.
Many people already have asked me why I’m crying when I’m not.
Anyway, you can be glad that you don’t have allergies (if you don’t have any) because they’re a real pain in the ass.
