Kite Beach, Dubai
Good day, guys!
There came the point in time when I was working, I said that everyday just seemed like a routine, wherein I ride a bus to go to the metro station then take the train and go to the next stop then ride another bus to go to work, finish work, wait for the bus to come, then transfer to another bus and eat in a place near our home/eat at home. Every day just seemed so redundant. I know I can explore, but sometimes you are just too drained and you just want to rest after having a long day.
I thought that this would be a normal day. I went inside our pantry and spoke to some of my Filipino colleagues. Suddenly, one of my colleagues asked if I had a patient, and I said none. She asked if I wanted to go to the beach for a while. And my Filipino colleagues said go and take advantage of that moment to go somewhere else. So my colleague drove us to the beach, I didn't know that it was only a few minutes to go there if you had a car. She was telling me that she already brought her family to this beach. She was looking for a place to park and she had to turn a few times just to find the perfect spot. The place that we went to was Kite Beach. We got down and she asked if I wanted to eat or drink. We went around the stalls, but it wasn't available whenever we wanted something. So we just decided to walk around first. I noticed that there were a lot of shops that were closed. There were a lot of people also walking along the way.
I thought that we would be able to go and walk going towards the water, but there was an ongoing construction which extended really far. So we just decided to walk around
This was the pathway, I noticed that they even put how many meters you walked/run on the green pavement. As you can see, there's also a mosque which is near the beach
We just walked up to this point and checked out what was there. There were a bunch of restaurants but we didn't like anything. So we just headed back.
While walking back this was the view. If you zoom in on the photo, the blurry building there at the back is the Burj Al Arab which is one of the 5 stars hotels here in Dubai, its distance feature is that it looks like a giant ship sail. I asked if my colleague has ever been there and she said she hasn't. I see this every time I go to work, though I've never seen it up close, maybe in the future.
We went back to one of the stalls, and my colleague treated me to a blueberry-flavored granita. . While the man was preparing our drinks. He was guessing what was my nationality and he guessed it right. My colleague also guessed his nationality and it was Sudanese. I took a sip and this drink reminded me of a Slushy. This drink was really refreshing and we were just walking and talking until the receptionist called me and said that we had to go back because there was a patient who was waiting. So our walk was cut short but it was really fun because I got to know my colleague more.
When we got back to the clinic, my colleague was laughing at me and said look at your mouth. I immediately went to the restroom and checked the mirror. My mouth, tongue, and teeth were colored blue. When I went out, I said it was like I gargled the toilet water which had a blue tablet.
Thanks for reading and stay safe always!
