I put together a decent post last night but in novice blogger ways, I accidently deleted the whole damn thing at about 12:30 am and quickly fell asleep after. So a quick, abridged version before I head off to Masdar for the day...
A quick breakdown of my first 48 hours here:
- 20 hours or so in the Masdar offices, getting to know the team and our project that lies ahead. I'll I can say is that it gets more exciting by the minute there - it's going to be an amazing time! (P.S. - those aren't the offices just quite yet :) )
- 20 or so hours in the hotel - yep, the one with the Formula One racetrack underneath. We literally heard an F1 racecar underneath us last night as we ate dinner outside. Quite a unique sound to hear as you digest your dinner...
- 2-3 hours in the taxi -- everybody drives everywhere here. Quite a bit different than my no-car, walk-to-work lifestyle in Seattle
- approximately 4 minutes outdoors: pretty much the time cumulative time its taken to walk back and forth between the various taxi rides and our destinationas (either hotel or work)...hence the name of this blog post. Being Alaska-bred, I'm hoping to take advantage of the nonstop sunshine at some point soon. Although - we'll see how long I survive the 105 degree rays :)
Ok - laptop battery now at 6%. Logging off now b/c I dont want to lose ANOTHER blog post. Be in touch again soon.
Cheers from AD
