K6 UAE

We started the day by going to church, drove home, eat lunch and drive to a place called Mug & Bean to wait for our ride. We went because relatives were visiting and wanted some desert experience. Our ride was called (Biggasizing for emphasis) THE DESERT ROSE  desert dune bashing and interactive Bedouin style camp with sand boarding and free unlimited soda and 4x4 bikes and camel riding. We went on a "long or maybe i'm just really impatient" car drive, and did some Dune Bashing.                     Dune bashing is bumpy, bouncy, hurty, ouchy, The lot of it combined into a once in a life time experience. Imagine a roller coaster that goes up, down, sideways, other sideways, different down, wait... Anyway I drove in a Toyota Land cruiser with Mom, Dad, and Greta. The others i.e Henry, Eliza, Auntie Bethy, Grandpa, and Uncle Tony, rode in a Nissan Pathfinder.           Our camp was designed...

Henry was nonplussed at wall of gold behind him. Yesterday, we toured around Dubai with Farm Grandpa and our Aunt and Uncle Foerster who all arrived to this glorious desert on Thursday night. One place we visited on Sunday was the souks in Old Dubai. First we hit the Gold Souks: Mom, Greta, and Grandpa in front of the typical gold souk display. Not-so-typical; a gold baby pacifier. There was also a gold baby bottle, but I don't have a picture for that one. This is the thing Henry was standing in front of in the first picture Not really sure to make of this, (Is it armor? a dress? costume?)but it's made out of minute woven chains of gold and gems. Pretty incredible, not to mention heavy! Do people really wear gold shirts? And giant gold bib necklaces? From the looks of the offerings at the gold souk you'd think this was a much more common thing than I have observed in my life. Frankly, Henry was unimpressed, the rest of us were mostly confused. Af...

BEFORE YOU READ: (subtle self-advertising) →🌟󠁀💥 RC Youtube Channel 💥🌟← click dat link 👉subscribers wanted👈 (It's more epic than our RC site and this blog put together and multiplied by chocolate) kthx Sunday, February 18 I have spent yet more money on my project.  10 dollars, to be exact, for new differentials.  The new upgrade comes with metal gears. Wuzz that mean? Buckle up, Me and Ben are at the S.S. Blogger helm again, and this time, we are telling you about our hobby. First, look at this. This is what we are  slaves   mechanics  to. It's a Chinese import RC car. Here's a basic crash course on the RC hobby. It's simply an obsession with fast scale model cars, and upgrading them. Me and Ben have kinda discovered we like   love  extremely treasure seeing little cars flying off jumps, and then having to repair them. Here's a backstory: We moved into Al Zeina more than a half a year ago, and we were really b...

What are camel races? Camel races are a free event in Dubai where rich people buy a camel and a robotic jockey and race them against other camels and their jockeys. White cars follow the camels around and control the jockeys and honking and yelling. There were also free snacks: drinks and Arabic desserts and eventually whole meals.                                                                    Camel milk try 2.0 verdict = 👍 There was also date flavored camel milk but we didn't get a picture. There was a box of sweets with little squares that melted in your mouth and squares that were covered in sugar and were kinda squishy and two kinds of pistachio treats and cake and a green melted thing that tasted surprisingly good .=) The camels are chased around the track by lots of trucks. There are more trucks tha...

There are two Last Exit food truck parks along the main highway between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. This new Last Exit was mad-max themed, with zombie food trucks and hilariously designed bathrooms. My favorite truck was this one: a modified dump-truck with 5 machine-guns. here are some others:  These truck sculptures (and upgraded cars too, above is one of them) were connected to, and looked like they were pulling, about 10-13 food trucks.           I don't know much about mad-max but i'm guessing it's a post-apocalyptic movie. (post-apocalyptic means after or during an apocalypse.          The food tastes greasy, juicy, savory, and yummy. There is pad tai, sushi, burgers, chicken, pizza and more. It is kinda odd to have a picnic in February, with good weather and no snow or bugs but it is pleasant and fun.  Not much to write about, but a lot of fun to go to!

Sorry for the wait, but here goes... B On February 3, we went to the Red Bull Airshow, at the Corniche. The Red Bull Airshow is the grand championship of racing pilots. It hosts races around the world in a gather-the-most-points kinda style. The planes are EXTRA 300-S single seat prop planes with smoke trails. First there was the no-pro class, The no-pro class people were pretty bad, two of them sliced a pylon  (the things that the planes fly through) with their wings! To describe what a pylon is more clearly, all it would need is a face, long wavy arms, and it would be one of those floppy MacDonalds dudes, exept not, well, floppy. When he sliced the pylon, the air that blows up the pylon all blew out and it flopped back onto the black floaty thing. The people on the floaty thing that holds up the pylon had to repair it quickly. While they repaired the pylon, they did a search and rescue demonstration, with airlift gear on a Bell H-1.  Then came the ...
