I have landed in Abu Dhabi..(what did I get myself into???..)
Had problems coming in as my workg visa was not sent to the airport (how convenient)..so options was 1. fly back home, 2. cancel my current visa, enter under tourist visa, re-do my visa, leave the country and enter back with the other visa...
Option 2 was the best but had to wait for the immigration officer to show up as it was already 12am. When he finally showed up he gave another option that he will withold my passport instead and to get my sponsor to pass my original copy to the HQ in tread with my passport. Great! sorted. Left the airport, stupid taxi got lost and when we finally reach the hotel, guess what I could not check-in as I do not have my passport!?!??!...again had to wait for the manager to show up (it was already ard 2am). After more explanation, he agreed to check me in under my passport copy (i only got my copy in my thumb drive and the stupid hotel had corrupted it, huargggg!!! i lost all my folders accept the passport copy..) and finally got into the room around 4am, sigh!
So, Welcome to Abu Dhabi!!!..:)
the great thing is to respect yourself.
Only by self-respect,
you will compel others,
to respect you"
