Our weeklong break (due to Eid al-Adha) is concluding in few hours. I am glad that I decided not to travel outside the UAE and tried a combination of staycation + never tried stuff. Productivity and leisure rolled into one. I am happy, too, that I gave Abu Dhabi Grand Prix a go last minute and that the tickets “found me” just in time even if it was impossible to source out that hour. Watching a race up close was a new experience. At first, the engine’s roaring was so deafening, despite the ear protection provided to us upon entry to the designated grandstands. It was a thrilling experience. Congratulations to Sebastian Vettel, the youngest Formula One champion.

A glimpse to 1966 and 1979 Grand Prix in New York and Austria, respectively..
Another new experience for me, a concert marathon.

that’s a great “staycation”. i would love to watch a grand prix. i heard the sound of the engines is really deafening but i bet it’s worth the experience =)
it’s long weekend here and we’re also just staying put. lazy mode lang the whole time haha!!
this is one time nobody minded having a staycation if there was an abundance of things to do and see at home.
UAE is becoming a very modern society – grand prix, golf tournaments, concerts of rock bands – what more could one ask ? Awesome
I love to visit the place one day.
