I always anticipate traffic every Sunday because it is the first working day of the week here. Hence, I typically leave my home at 7:30 in the morning to avoid traffic rush though the roads at this time are already congested.
So lately I am surprise that it takes me only 5-7 minutes to drive from my home to the office which on normal days takes at least 15 minutes.
Then I realized that it is summer now in UAE. School classes are over. The weather is extremely hot and becomes intolerable. So normally expat families go for vacation during this period of the year.
I believe that this is one of the reasons that the roads are less congested nowadays because Abu Dhabi is half empty as expats and their families fly out of the country.
And I can’t wait for my vacation too!

Halu sis! So,when is your vacation? Just got back from Manila and Bangkok. 1 week lng kaya rest and relaxation lng talaga and no shopping (konti sa Bangkok…hehehehe).
Tsaka na lng ulit kami byabyahe sa Europe and US kasi tight ang budget eh. As much as possible, we just want to spend less kaya Asia na lng muna for now.
Yup, road is pretty empty here in Dubai too. Love it when it’s like that. I can zoom past the wide road in less than 20 minutes from my home to the office. Sana, laging ganun…hahaha.
Ingat!
Hugs,

Vacationing can be a state of mind. Before, during and after the actual vacation.
Next thing you know, you’ll be sending postcards saying “Wish you were here!”
