For National Day many people take advantage of the long weekend and travel. I was one of those people. A friend of mine who I've known since high school, Shanda, and I decided to go to Hong Kong.

 On December 2, 1971, 7 emirates that make up what is now known as the UAE came together. This was done under the leadership of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
Car rallies, dance shows, fireworks, and other special events are held to commemorate this special occasion. People dress up in UAE colors, decorate their homes, and cars as a way to show their love for their country. It is really something to see. At my school we had a whole day dedicated to celebrating National Day. We were given scarves and pins to wear. Once at school I found out that the boys would be leaving around 11-11:30am inshallah and my first class of the day is at 12:30pm! What a day! The boys sang songs. Some of them were dressed in authentic UAE Military Uniforms. They twirled fake make shift guns. They played musical chairs and there was a tug of war teachers versus students competition. It was a really cool day! |
Hey there, I’m Janelle! Welcome to my corner of the world. I’m an international educator by day, and a massive, do-life-big lover of travel, creative sewing, and bold cooking by night. Currently based in the beautiful UAE, I believe the world is too huge to stay limited by what society says about you, and I'm convinced that creating a life you love is the ultimate way to realize we are not defined by anyone else's expectations. From ziplining in Ras Al Khaimah and hot air ballooning in Cappadocia to conquering 6 out of 7 Disneys worldwide, I’m on a mission to see it all (and probably fabric-shopping or food-tasting along the way!). Want big travel experiences but hate the stress of the unknown, the planning, and the endless logistics? You’re in the right place. I share global inspiration here to show you exactly how to break boundaries and explore—and when you’re ready, I can design the perfect custom travel package for you over at Unique Does Travel.
