Today second Sunday and ninth day of my landing to Sharjah. The weekend over here is Friday and Saturday. Sunday being the first working day of the week.
In Bible during old testament period God made Israelites to go roundabout in Desert for 40 years to reach Canaan the promised land. He could have taken them directly to the Promised Land in less than one year... but why 40 long years??? It is interpreted that it was God's training His people about the way of life giving the leadership skills to Moses.
Why am i sharing about this over here??? this is what comes to my mind when i think about the dwelling place or the accomadation over here. People like me who enjoyed a single room luxury back home in India, started to share room over here. And many more training people living in the desert will get, to name it.. washing cloths, washing utensils, cooking, buying groceries, etc....
The cost of accomadation here is very high compared to India. In Dubai cost of one bedspace is 800 dhirams (1 dhiram - 12.50 INR now, bed space - just a bed to sleep regardless of people in room). Likeminded and people of same communitities share rooms to save the expense.
The flat where m residing is two bedroom accomadating five people and guests during weekends. An average flat costs 45,000 AED per year, not refundable. This luxuray can be enjoyed by the people whose income range 4000 AED to 8000 AED per month.
Now, the desert training center teaching basic necessities of life for survival anywhere in the world ... :-)
