Celebrations, Celebrations and more Celebrations

January to March is the ultimate celebrations period for Geo and me - New Years, our anniversary, Valentine's, my birthday, his birthday.. sounds like a lot doesn't it? Well, this year we had even more reasons to celebrate: first both Geo and me passed our driving test and are now proud owners of a pink (and ugly) UK driving licence and then we both found a placement for our year in Industry starting this summer. So we had a busy few months with all these celebrations and of course all the uni work we had to do in between.

Now, it's time for some rest and relaxation, as all assignments are handed in an we are on our Easter break. We are catching up with our missed posts and movie nights and preparing for our upcoming trip to Russia!

But enough talking, here are some pictures from our festivities:

IT'S CHRISTMAS BREAK ~~~ Day 2

Top of the World (sorta)

After resisting the urge to just stay in bed, we had a ticket to go the top of Burj Khalifa. 

We decided on Papa Roti (an amazing coffee bun at Dubai Mall) as breakfast just before our adventure to the tallest building to the world.

The entrance was very fancy as expected, and there's quite a bit to see before you even go up 

She's lost her mind waiting

There was a bit of waiting but soon enough we got up to the top with one of the fastest elevators I've been on.

The rest of the day was comprised of just hanging out in the world's biggest shopping mall.

I'm too lazy to write more so here are the pictures of the rest of the day. (at least I'm honest smiles)

I'm a model

She Tries...

She really does...

The next morning (like 3 in the morning) we took a cab to Abu Dhabi for our flight back to good old HCMC for our eventful Christmas break.

IT'S CHRISTMAS BREAK ~~~~ in march

Not that anyone really reads our blog, but its been a while since we've uploaded anything mostly due to Ksen's laziness. Either way here comes part 2 of 3 of our Dubai Christmas trip.

Because I'm a model traveller I thought it'd be great that I wouldn't sleep on the flight to Dubai and I was practically falling asleep any given chance I had. Even with this tiresome condition, we went to the famous desert tour of Dubai....

We got picked up from our hotel on 4x4 and was pretty much driven to the middle of no where. 

Once we arrived though Ksenia got to take part in animal cruelty.

 Dubai being a desert and call the views that we got to see while waiting for our questionable group members wasn't too bad.

This waiting was followed by a desert roller coaster on the 4x4 all the way to the base camp where they so graciously offered mediocre food and decent entertainment.

After this event packed day following the long flight, we were pretty much knocked out by the end of it. We pretty much fell right to bed as soon as we got back from the desert tour.
