The weather in the UAE normally keeps you confined within your comfortably air conditioned existence. However, when the summer heat dies down (which happens by November), it’s always great to head out and explore! There are several areas around the UAE which have beautiful scenery and amazing landscapes.

Before I moved to Dubai, I had never seen a covered woman. Maybe a head scarf here and there (and to be honest, living in Portugal most of my life, barely even that) – but it was in the UAE that I saw a fully covered lady for the first ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/mommy-is-that-you/feed/ 0 https://bkpk.me/travel-to-my-country-24-africa-the-middle-east/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=travel-to-my-country-24-africa-the-middle-east https://bkpk.me/travel-to-my-country-24-africa-the-middle-east/#comments Sun, 14 Jul 2013 10:48:51 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=8352

Magnolia Bakery in New York City has to have the most DELICIOUS cupcakes ever! We used to eat their cupcakes in Dubai and well, couldn’t resist when we saw them in New York City. We’re suckers for the authentic experience!]]> https://bkpk.me/whered-you-go-i-miss-you-so/feed/ 0 https://bkpk.me/portugueses-pelo-mundo-az-on-portuguese-national-tv/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=portugueses-pelo-mundo-az-on-portuguese-national-tv https://bkpk.me/portugueses-pelo-mundo-az-on-portuguese-national-tv/#comments Sun, 01 Jul 2012 18:17:37 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=3046
If we needed a souvenir from our years living in Dubai, Portuguese national TV channel RTP has given us a pretty cool one! Several months before we left the UAE, a Portuguese team shooting the TV show “Portugueses pelo Mundo” (translating into “Portuguese Around the World”) came to visit.

I lived in Dubai for about 4 years – this is where I met my boyfriend. When we decided to quit our jobs in Dubai to start traveling full-time, we got two kinds of reactions from friends and family.

One of the most exciting experiences we’ve ever had in Dubai was definitely skydiving over Palm Jumeirah. When you jump out of the plane, you reach a speed of about 200Km/h and you don’t really have time to think or appreciate the scenery. It’s all about the adrenaline. But when the parachute finally ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/flying-over-the-world/feed/ 1 https://bkpk.me/the-best-dumplings-in-dubai/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-best-dumplings-in-dubai https://bkpk.me/the-best-dumplings-in-dubai/#comments Sat, 14 Apr 2012 05:30:27 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=1899
These are the best dumplings you can get in Dubai. That’s all. If you’re craving some Chinese food, Won Ton on Sheikh Zayed Road is definitely a must-try! The food is reasonably priced (for the location) and the dumplings are to die for!

It’s strange that living in the Arabian Desert in Dubai, you never come across that many camels. However, the scenery changes quite dramatically in Salalah, Oman. Driving down the street you will often find camels ambling up to you in large numbers.

I’m writing this post from Ethiopia, a pretty good place to think about the value of material things.
