HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
We celebrated National Day (It's our resident country's birthday next week; the UAE will be 37 years young) at school today, so I figure the grand meal and the entertainment we had was like Thanksgiving, except instead of turkey I had camel meat. Camel tastes GOOD. Seriously good. Very tender, very delicious...

The entertainment was in the form of traditional dances. Boys twirl guns (unloaded, of course) and canes; girls flip/twirl their hair. It's a separate event of course, because our school does that whole "separate but equal" thing, based on gender instead of race, though. The food is also very separate but equal: boys get meals, girls are more snack-like but with nearly equal volume.
Anastasia and Misrak joined us for the National Day events at AISA. (You know how little kids' birthdays are celebrated with greater fanfare than most adults'? I think that explains the fervor of National Day here :)
