On December 2nd, the UAE turned 39 years old! It was a huge occassion for people from the UAE. At our school alone, students and teachers prepared for the "BIG DAY" for an entire week! One day we bussed all 900 students about 1 km away so we could march back to the school while waving flags and chanting! Students piled onto the busses and chanted their Pride in being an 'Emirate".It was insane! In Canada, we would have broken every bus rule possible. In the UAE......Mafi mushkila! (no problem!!) On the last day of school we had a huge party! Many parents and community members came out for great entertainment (put on by the kids) face painting, henna painting, and many cultural displays!
