So I woke up this morning and the first thing I thought, upon stepping out of the dorm building, was: "fog". But then I realized that while the air was cool enough for fog, it was far too dry for it. Everything was bathed in a thick haze. It turns out, in the night, a mild sandstorm engulfed the city. Nothing stopped or even slowed, I suppose. The worst it did was gradually lend everything a light dusting. My hair is powdered with a light grit. My "side bag" (That Sarah Hoffman gave me for my birthday, thanks!) has collected the same. It also created a great sunset. (Above: This picture was taken while standing at the front gate (pictured at the top left) of AUD.)
(Sunset at Jumeria Residence. The AUD campus is one block forward and on the left of this street.)

Go to the dancing section and watch the video he made. Pretty good stuff. Also his blogs are really interesting, the last one I read he was in antartica.
I like how a sandstorm in the middle-east is jusr like a flurry of snow in the midwest.
I was hoping to see more a few more posts here on your blog.
I am most interested to hear what it was like when you started your classes, met your roomate, and what the food and stuff is like in the cafeteria.
I think I took that same picture of the sandstorm! Awesome blog, Colin. I'm really inspired to get out of Dubai after reading your last few posts ...
