Well, my phone currently isn't working, facbook isn't working, and email is scarce. But! It's official--I have place secured in Dubai for next year! Mr. Sharif gave Johani and I both the go ahead, which means good things for her as well (her flatmate is nice, but seriously dfficult to live with--so she'll be out of there!). And Johani is heading home in a few hours, so I'm happy for her. She has been such a enormous help to me over the past few weeks; I really don't know what I would have done without her.
Ok, more of a real update when internet and computers are better, and when I'm safely home in MN.
TTFN,
